Nah. Maybe single digits, but I think this year would've carried McDaniel to victory.

LOLno.

McDaniel would have easily won even if he'd thrown a couple kids into an alligator compound.

It would have turned out like many other races: polling would show it competitive, only to end in a crushing Republican win.

The bigger issue would have been that McDaniel could have changed the national narrative (like Akin/Mourdock did). He himself probably still would have won.

Depends if McDaniel blew it or not with a crazy comment or his not-very-secret affair.

Would have been a tough environment for Childers obviously, but McDaniel would have been a trainwreck (he already was a trainwreck without being the nominee).

No. In a 2006 year, yes.

Yeah, with candidates like Chris McDaniel there is no crushing Republican wave in 2014.

I'm sceptical that a "national narrative" has any consequential impact on elections. Sounds like one of those squishy phrases pundits love that have no empirical evidence supporting them.

OMG you mean tons of voters in SE PA didn't vote for Sestak in 2010 because of all of the media coverage over Christine O'Donnell in Delaware?
