re: #49 dugmartsch

I like it when Republican’s get handed a wave election on a silver platter and manage somehow to still fuck it up. Seven special elections in the house, seven losses. Only Mass in the Senate and if the Democrats had run a fern rather than “i’m not much of a campaigner” coakely, it stays blue.

The people who get ushered in during wave elections are centrist outsiders. The Republicans seem to want to run either centrist insiders or rabidly reactionary outsiders. That is not the strategy to win an election, or to form much of a governing mandate if they eek out a majority.

That’s why Sestak has a good shot in PA and Paul tuned a slam dunk into a toss up in KY.

And an independent ex-Republican looks likely to win Florida.
