re: #57 HappyBenghazi

The nice thing about losing as badly as the GOP did last night is that the Republicans now have at least two years, and probably four, to think back over the mistakes they made this year and also in 2008 — and to ponder the real lesson of 2010, when there was no national candidate on the ballot. And that lesson is simple: When conservative principles are the focal point of the election, they win; when “electability” and “reaching across the aisle” are personified in a middling candidate at the presidential level, they lose.

By that standard, they should have run Santorum.
