Morton Kondracke is wrong

Is her resigning the governorship a bigger "albatross" than RomneyCare or homosexual marriage for Mitt Romney or pardoning murderers is for Mike Huckabee?

[ReneeLynn]

Blah, blah, talking points, blah, blah, hate Sarah Palin, blah, blah.

What else is new?

[Ann Archy]

This is a dog bites man story......Kondrake is wrong on EVERYTHING!

[rellimpank]

—Limbaugh wiped the floor with Kondrake’s comments yesterday-—

[SoConPubbie]

Or Myth Romney's on again off again support Abortion?

Or Myth Romney stating he was not part of the Reagan wing of the GOP?

Or Huckabee's support for Christian-based socialistic policies?

Or Huckabee's support for Illegal Aliens (In-state tuition for the children of Illegal ALiens for starters)?

[wolfpat]

Not to mention that there was a slight cost to eliminating a couple of RINOs.

Mort is wrong here to some degree. First off, I will support and vote for Sarah Palin in a heartbeat before either Romney or Huck. No questions.

With that said, the loss of Miller in Alaska, doesn't show well on Palin. No two ways around that. It looks bad.

As for Buck in CO. Nothing to do with Palin. Everything to do with the top of the ticket there and the GOP having NO real candidate for Gov. Tancredo cost us, because he brought people out just to vote AGASINT him....which ended up costing Buck at least a couple % pts and the min. (Enough that he very likely wins).

As for DE. I was glad just to see Castle out of there. The guy was garbage. I'd rather Coons be there. As for O'Donnell she was an awful candidate that was immature to boot. Her immaturity came off more and more.

NV. Simple case that Angle did not make that race entirely about Reid. She had to make herself part of it. Her Vs him. That is why we lost. If she would have left herself out of it and simply nationalized that race....we win. Can we blame that on Palin. Of course not.

“Yes, Christine O’Donnell ruined the chance for a pickup in Delaware.”

WRONG!

[Bigun]

So? Mort Kondracke has been proven to be wrong 99&44/100% of the time.

What’s new about that?

[rwfromkansas]

While I support Palin, I am sure a lot won’t vote for her because she quit.

My wife said as much. People don’t want a quitter in the presidency.

That said, I think she would be a good candidate and those situations are unusual.

[skr]

Ann Coulter didn’t seem convinced that Castle would’ve won. Seems silly to blame O’Donnell (and Palin) for Democrats voting for a Democrat.

[rockinqsranch]

I’m lost on this one. Totally confoost.

When has Mort Kondracke ever NOT been wrong?

[TexasCajun]

It's Always Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!"

[sodpoodle]

Not often mentioned is Hillary using her second term as NY Senator to run for POTUS. She didn’t resign until she had the SOS offer.

Some albatross!!!

[Rational Thought]

From the article:

The rest of Morton Kondracke’s analysis has some merit. Palin quitting her job as governor of Alaska will remain an albatross. There is a reason her pony appears to be 7 points behind Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.

Hmm...I wonder why Sean Parnell won the way he did then?

What little respect I had for Kondracke is now gone. He is just another Beltway Liberal jerk.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Thank you. I didn’t want to pile on. LOL

[SoConPubbie]

While I support Palin, I am sure a lot won’t vote for her because she quit.

Nope, not really, only people who normally just listen to CNN or MSNBC or people who are already supporting other candidate.

You sound like a concern troll, are you?

[Gator113]

Kondracke is a moron and was obviously taken out to dinner on Rove’s tab.

[hecht]

He's correct about Delaware. Castle would have won. In Colorado Norton was the better candidate. In Nevada I believe Lowdon had the support of Rush?Hannity and may have been a better candidate, but could she have defeated Reids cheating? That I dont know.

Its clear we could have picked up 2 more seats.
