So yeah, the Tea Party hilariously screwed the GOP last night.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Wait a second, here.  I too thought the GOP left Senate seats on the table, but the fact is the GOP didn’t have good candidates because 2010 wasn’t supposed to be a good Senate year for the GOP and many of their top candidates chose not to run.

NV:  as was stated, Lowden probably wouldn’t have fared much better than Angle after her gaffe.   This race was winnable with someone like Thune/Pence.

DE:  sending a lesson to the remaining GOP RINOs was worth magnitudes more than having RINO Castle in the Senate.  This race was winnable with someone like Thune/Pence.

So, the problem for the GOP in NV/DE was simply lack of good conservative candidates along the lines of Thune/Pence.  IT IS A RECRUITING PROBLEM.  Same problem in KY, even though it was a victory.  But, I think the GOP will bring its A Team for 2012 Senate, as recruiting should be much easier.

(I don’t know enough about the primaries in CA or CO to comment)

I just want the GOP to apply these lessons towards 2012.

Hey...

Aren't you supposed to put some sort of addendum to this...like paid for by Thune/Pence...or I'm Thune Pence and I approved this message.

You screw up just this much, and I'll have you flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog $hit out of Hong Kong.

I don't even know anything about Michele Bachmann, and now she is running for a GOP leadership position.  I may agree with her on some issues, but I don't like her crudeness and/or approach.  I used to be to the right of the GOP, now I'm to the left, which doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling - it sucks to be in the middle!  I'm too out of touch, been holding on too tight, I've lost the edge.  And I think the disconnect came during the campaign of 2008 when I rejected Palin as a lightweight while the Right feel in love with her.

I grew up watching adult behavior from the likes of former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming.  But Bachmann/Miller/Palin run around in public as if they were simply trolling the Atlas forum.  

The GOP better find some statesmen and find them fast!  Otherwise, they're simply gonna mimic Fox News more and more.

Well, he does keep writing it Thune/Pence.

Is Jmfcst a 16-year-old girl?!?

sorry, but you E+9/S-9 types will have to take a seat in the back of the bus.  I'm looking to nominate a statesman in 2012, not a hemorrhoid.

What happened to the Tea Party wave that was supposed to take out Boxer by +5%? Your Senate predictions were atrocious. Just saying.

my final Senate predictions didn't have Boxer losing, you loin.  and I predicted +70 in the House, so I was pretty accurate in my wave predictions.

The fact that you ever thought that was the most likely outcome (you said it on here several times not long before the election) proves that nobody in their right mind should take you seriously. You also said all of the Democrats not leading by 5% or more by election day would lose. lol.

I overestimated GOP gains in the Senate, woe is me!
