I don’t know why he had to give her the back of his hand, the article didn’t gain anything by it. I liked her, it irritates me for Repubs to bash her. Maybe like you say he’s sucking up to the NRO management twerps. The rest of the article was pretty good. He’s a good writer.

Your response makes his point. It is always healthy in all endeavors to be honest with oneself, be it sports or politics. That is if you intend to win. In the bubble thinking only leads to constant defeat. What he was pointing out is that she was a horrible candidate, which was true. He is warning us that it is just not the Democrats who nominate bad candidates, a true statement, backed up with the example of O'Donnell. You see a lot of this, even here, where people have their devotion to certain politicians or even pseudo politicians who would be lucky to crack 42% in any election. But they ignore the facts and flaws and charge ahead anyway.
