The GOP did a good job avoiding lunatic nominees like O’Donnell, Angle, Mourdock and Akin. If you nominate unqualified people with unpopular views you won’t win. We avoided that mistake this time, and we won.

Gonna catch hell for this. But aside from whatever else we may think of him, apparently a lot of the credit for this goes to Karl Rove. He said on Fox last night that a lot of money was donated for this effort, which he apparently quarterbacked.
So he may have hurt the most conservative end of the pool, but apparently he got a lot of the turds off the bottom.
Either way, I find it hard to be critical of any Republican today.
