I will be praying for that to happen.

Hopefully,O’Donnell in Delaware and Dan Maes in Colorado will be a learning experience for the Tea Party.

It’s simply not good enough to just be conservative. It’s necessary to be conservative AND electable, and being electable takes a much larger skill set and personality set than simple “being conservative”.

And, fortunately, there are plenty of folks out there who meet these two requirements. However, like all other professions, experience is the primary teacher for developing political skills and honing personality traits: a skilled public person is generally made skilled by performing public activities. Simply plucking a random conservative off the streets doesn’t usually work too well.

That’s why public people must work their way up the public ladder of success just like everyone else has to work their way up the experience ladder. A public person must start in small public venues and work their way to the next larger one. Along the way, their skills increase, and the greater scrutiny shakes out any fatal flaws along the way.

The military doesn’t promote privates directly to generals for a reason, and neither should the Tea Party. The Tea Partiers have got to turn to those with proven records, or otherwise you end up promoting privates like the Christine O’Donnells and the Dan Maes of the world who have not been sufficiently tempered under fire. These people may mean well and may be good people, but they have no proven record of leadership, and offer nothing to the electorate other than “we’re not the other guy”.

I will bet Rove contributed not a penny.

He did not give her free advice, he publicly and repeatedly attacked a fellow republican immediately after her primary victory.

Yeah Rove can take personal responsibility he obviously intended to do this.

I just sent the following email to Karl Rove: (he has answered other emails I have sent)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have emailed you before and met you at your book signing .
I am now in the position of defending you from some rabid RWers who are mad that you criticized O’Donnell. You have moved in their eyes from a magnificent bastard to merely an ordinary bastard.

Here is the question ...
Have any of your groups supported O’Donnell monetarily?
If not why not?

Thanks so much

(Woofie)

>>>>>>>>>>>

If he answers I will let you know

[jern]

it isn’t that she isn’t a reasonable candidate it is that she ISN’T going to win.

[stevio]

Exactly brother.

[Carling]

You stupid comment tells me a lot about you, FRiend.

"You" stupid comment. Mmmkay. Say hello to Karl Rove for me, will you?

[FDNYRHEROES]

If this is true, Delaware should be nuked...

The entire State should be nuked from space. It's the only way to be sure...

[Recovering_Democrat]

I stand by my previous statement.

The hatred of North was even more palatable than for O’Donnell—they were convinced North was a criminal.

O’Donnell is a serious person, too—young, perhaps, but serious enough to want to be a real person in the arena of ideas.

Is she a professional politician (like Castle)? Nope. Not by a long shot. Is she GENUINE? You betcha.

[darkangel82]

Coons did himself no favors in that debate and may even have hurt his own chances.

[Question Liberal Authority]

I’m searching for the silver lining in the crosstabs, but … help me out.

The silver lining is that, if O'Donnell is actually losing, the Dems are throwing all of their ammunition at a race they've already won by 20 points.

And, if O'Donnell is actually winning, then that means that every other poll in the country might be understating Republican support by 20 points.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I hope you’re right. O’Donnell ought to just put her head down and keep talking to the people of her state.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I hope you’re right. O’Donnell ought to just put her head down and keep talking to the people of her state.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Then WHY is Hussein headed to Delaware to help Coons??

Obama recently campaigned in Washington DC, where he received 91% of the vote, and which doesn't even have a voting congresscritter.

It's possible that, given Obama's reputation as being the kiss of death, they're sending him to places where he can rack up easy wins so he can inflate his win/loss record after the election.

They might also be trying to do to O'Donnell what they did with Larry Craig and Mark Foley: make them a national laughing stock and then try to tie them unfavorably to the rest of the Republican party.

[Williams]

Thanks, let me know.

[woofie]

You’re right, I failed to add an “ r” to “you” to make it a possessive pronoun.

And why did I make that stupid mistake?

Because I foolishly lifted it directly from your comment to me before I “doctored it”

Your comment: “You defending a RINO like Rove.....”

Perhaps you should have used the possessive pronoun yourself

I guess if I felt like I really needed to hate some people, Karl Rove would be at the bottom of my list.

[Luke21]

I wanted to puke when Hannity announced he would have that pig Rove on the show today, calling him the “architect.” Architect of what? Two Democrat landslides? What a Judas that bum is.

[itssme]

Agreed. If they prefer socialism, carpet bomb em’.

[ansel12]

Rove isn’t a movie reviewer.

On the night of her brilliant victory that should have launched the general campaign of the Republican senate nominee for Delaware, the most prominent republican face of the non candidate portion of the GOP went on a rampage to destroy all of her momentum, and he kept it up for days, until he had totally erased her victory night triumph and momentum and reversed the national coverage.

Karl Rove wasn’t alone, the NRSC rejected her the night of her victory, then Castle would not endorse her, and today, the day of her last big shot in the debate, Castle announces that he will not endorse her because he was treated badly during the primary.

The left side of the GOP has fought her tooth and nail.
