As Pat Buchanan asked on "Morning Joe," if they want to lead this party in 2012, don't the Romneys and Pawlentys and Barbours need to embrace O'Donnell and campaign for her this fall? Buchanan made this point: In '64, Nelson Rockefeller refused to wear a Goldwater button, while Richard Nixon campaigned for him in 40 states. One became president, the other got kicked off the GOP national ticket. Bottom line: Does the Tea Party/DeMint crowd punish any presidential wannabe in '12 who doesn't help O'Donnell meaningfully? Does this become like the '06 Lamont-Lieberman litmus test.

I am completley baffled as to why ANY Republican would not support O’Donnell. We still have 48 days left before we vote. No post primary polling has been done. This seat could well be winnable. It could be the 51st seat. Demint could be Majority Leader, not Minority Leader. Whatever happened to Reagans’s 11th Commandment????????? Opposition in the primary is one thing. Failure to support in the general election is a whole different kettle of fish.
