"Punch it with your tongues my bitches."

Thanks for making me laugh!

6. Obama

The man is the anti-Midas.  He will oppose extending the tax cuts to the upper brackets tooth and nail (he's like the scorpion: it's in his nature).  With a big hit in taxes coming, expect small business to cut staff or not hire if Obama is *snicker* lucky.  Expect him to flail uselessly and blame Bush.

If O'Donnell can even mouth opposition to Obama loudly enough, she can win it.

As Obama said, "the difference is that this year, you've got me."

(After November he should change his middle name to "anchor"...)

Some people are bitching about what Rove said.  But Rove was saying exactly what we've been saying all along--that this weird stuff about her would come up before the general. 

"Oh, Rove, you just let the cat out of the bag, man.  How could you do that to us?  Couldn't you have just kept quiet?"

Of course, Rove's points were worsened by Hannities dumb responses:  "Well, I never saw anything wrong."  Brilliant, Sean.

How much money will it take to even bring her close?

Next we're taking out Coburn.  That bastard called Nancy Pelosi a "nice women," or "nice lady" even.

He followed up that assertion, which he only made because he hates us non-in-beltway types and likes cocktail parties at the White House (he was said to be "friends" with Obama when they were both in the Senate), with the idiotic question "have you met her?"  implying if you had not met the Speaker, in person, you were therefore unqualified to have an opinion of her.

That's LIBERAL logic boys and gals, a paradigm of "can't we all just get along" Washington Insider Good Old Boys (and Nancy) Backscratching with our money but not our best interests, so COBURN NEEDS TO GO.

Right after Demint, of course.

You sir, are a great American!

All I know is Ace was Michael Freaking Barone tonight as far as the spread went.

How are you at picking football games?

NRSC just said they wouldn't support O' Donnell. Well fuck them too. First they fucked around in Alaska and now they want to take their toys and go home.

I am really starting to hate these elitist fucktards.

What the hell?  The NRSC says it will NOT support Christine O'Donnell, that the $ would be better spent somewhere else, and that they will leave it up to others to support her. 

Wow - sore losers!  Talk about taking your ball and going home.

That committee needs a thorough housecleaning from top to bottom.

From what Ive read over the months, I bet their coffers are pretty light as alot of people are bypassing them and going straight to the candidates

I'm going to send $ too, exceller.  Rove was a douche on Hannity.  I lost a ton of respect for him tonight. 

>>>>How much money will it take to even bring her close?

this is huge, and no one is talking about it.

If in a week or two, polls show her down 10%, does anyone think the NRSC is going to waste a dime on her?

Look at it this way, are the democrats going to give money to the Alaskan Democratic Candidate? or Blanche Lincoln?

She better have held onto that 5,000 dollars she made last year, because I don't see the republican party spending money on her if she can't close the gap and quick, because there are only 50 some days left.

The NRSC can go. To. Fucking. Hell.

Seriously.

There is also a thing called a self fullfilling prophicy. The assholes could have waited until the next poll to see what it looks like.

51

NRSCC?  What is the NRSCC?  I support the Senate Conservatives Fund.  And Angle, Paul, Toomey, Rubio, Buck, and now O'Donnell.  And the guy from NH with the funny name.

Moneybomb for O'Donnell anyone?

Not one dime to the NRSC.  Pricks.

It's over, time to move on. If O'Donnell gets off to a decent start in her campaign, she will attract support. She should run to the center since her opponet is far-left. I'm not going to ditch ALL my pragmatism. d;^)> 

I am really starting to hate these elitist fucktards.

Is it elitism to want to maximize party gain and not throw away money?  Do you really think their problem is that they feel they're better than her?  Get serious.  Until she shows she has a chance to win, I don't want them throwing money away on her.  Send it to Nevada. 

NRO has an article up

O'Donnell has about 20 thousand in cash on hand.

Coons has a million.

I'm sure she get money in the coming weeks, but the Dems will be giving coons cash as well.

it will be a hard gap to close

68 For those who are still harping on this on both sides:

It's over. The victor has been announced. It is time to work for a win.

It is time to bandage the wounds, get some healing hands laid on, and get back into the battle.
Posted by: Pipe Barackage at September 14, 2010 10:29 PM (Gwfoy)

The NRSC, Karl Rove, and sadly even Dana Perrino are digging in.  To their detriment. 

One good thing about this election cycle - separating the wheat from the chaff will be extraordinarily easy, as these douchebags are now showing their true colors. 

i could care less about delawhere? but i smile every time a rino gets nut punted. the gop needs to be ripped down, crushed, burned and the ashes nuked. gop or commiecrat they are selling us down the river.

we are all extremists here can't we all get along?

Posted by: Dunkirk at September 14, 2010 10:31 PM (ZkQ3p)

I believe after the win tonight, the gap will close, and the question remains, is she able to close sufficiently to make it a real race?  All unknown.

I actually worked with Coons  in the 90's in private industry.  He was smart, quick on his feet, and likeable.  His gig was a political liason inside our company dealing with whatever issues we needed him for.  He always had great passion for politics and was actually kinda a geek about knowing how each county and precinct voted in our areas of interest.  I liked him and I agree with him on just about nothing.  All this is bad for O'Donnell.  I think he rips her apart if they are on the same stage in a debate.  I base this on only what I have seen about O'Donnell in the media and I hope I am wrong - I obviously know him far better than I could possible know her.

On the side of Hope,  and besides the red wave that Ace notes, Coons now has  a political record.  I forget his current job in DE (county executive??), but my friends in DE-MD tell me he has become a pure Dem party line 'bot.  I don't know about "bearded Marxist" but he does have some quotes that O'Donnell can use.

Predictions from my friends in DE-MD (conservatives but non-morons BTW) are that Coons wins BIG. 

Maybe if I drink a lot I can forget they said that.

This is a race I'm going to directly support. Carl Rove was a absolute disgrace on Fox tonight.

For saying what we've been trying to tell you all week?  That she's got issues that will come up?  Get real, man.

Is it elitism to want to maximize party gain and not throw away money?  Do you really think their problem is that they feel they're better than her?  Get serious.  Until she shows she has a chance to win, I don't want them throwing money away on her.  Send it to Nevada. 

Posted by: rdbrewer at September 14, 2010 10:32 PM (tkcGj)

Yeah it is elitism, it's elitism for pricks like Carl Rove to trash her 15 minutes after she won. It's elitism for the dipshits at the NRSC to announce publicaly 20 minutes after she won that she is unelectable in their opinion and they won't back her.

Neither of them had to say a fucking word until the next poll comes out.

Now, I fear I must tell them that like Charles (Little Green Footballs) Johnson, people change.

If you're a big fan of lying, knock yourself out.

I am perfectly fine with people supporting O'Donnell because they feel that sending the message to the party is worth the Delaware seat.  I seem to be the only person that was pretty much agnostic on this race. 

Nah. You're just the only one to admit it.

Posted by: Quilly Mammmoth at September

Right, because Castle was a Stone. Cold. Lock to win the seat.  Keep telling yourself that.

but if the "enthusiasm gap" won her the primary it could definitely carry her in the general...  polls be damned.

I hope you're right.

OK, Mr Silver Linings here... but something occurs to me..  This NRSC decision might be a positive.

First off, they deny O'Donnell the money, so the money goes elsewhere. That more money elsewhere is a good thing for elsewhere, so bully for them.

Then in Delaware.... well, O'Donnell is the outsiders outsider. This NRSC decision means she is all in, on being "out". There is simply no question that she is 100% NON-establishment. That is probably the only real thing that will put her over the top in November, and this NRSC decision has now magnified it. She just needs to get some money from the grass roots, and come on.... it's Delaware.

I don't think this is all by plan, I think the NRSC is just running true to form. But I wonder if it could play out to her advantage, even inadvertantly.

You want an outsider, or you want biz as usual? They don't come more outside than Christine O'Donnell, even the GOP establishment will tell you that...so..... the choice is yours and clear.

Might just work.

He's called a "bearded Marxist"

Welcome to the family tree...

The NRSC,

is the really the best we can do?

I don't know of an republican organization more disliked by conservatives. We might as well put soros in charge of it.

Sure it may not be evil, and it may not have turned jews in during the holocaust, but can a party aparatus be so tone def?

If you aren't going to fund her fine, especially if in a few weeks she is down big but keep it on the down low. don't announce it right after she wins. It looks like what it is, sour grapes.

Ace...

Reason #6:  Castle throws his weight behind her and endorses her.  Does his best to bury the hatchet and ensure that Republicans win the senate.

Odds of this happening?  Don't know.  Slim maybe.  But it would probably be a step that would

a) Help Reason #4

b) Help close the gap in the polls which would...

c) Help convince the NRSC to support her.

Not one god damned red cent of my money will go to the NRSC.

These are the same SOB's that supported Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio fer Chrissake!

Better the seat in DE goes to a Democrat than a a pro-choice gun-grabbing RINO.  Do we really need another Olympia Snowe in the Senate.

Oh, and suck it Rove.  Suck it long, suck it hard. Way to stay classy there Mr. Architect. 

 That will be some trick, a deep-red Senator in a blue state.

Wouldn't that describe Santorum too?

No. Santorum was a deep socal conservative, in a socially conservative state.

Proper attitude is The king is dead.  Long live the king.  Carl Rove is pissed but his rant on Hannity is not helpful.  I guarentee the Dem Party is going to get behind Coons.  Will the Blue Blood Republicans.

The turnout for this primary was expected to be 30 thousand.  It was 56 thousand, nearly double.  This is indeed a big wave.  She can win.  It can be done.  This race is sending the message to Democrat liberals as well as Rino Republicans their days are numbered.  We are going to take the House.  That is pretty much a done deal.  That is enough to stop the crazy shit legistlation and the House controls the purse strings.

Finally,  I believe in the next cycle, Democrats have 3 times as many seats going up for grabs as Republicans.  We will take control of the Senate next round, if not this one, and Harry Reid has a good chance of being tossed on his ear this round.

Re: Rove, NRSC

We've been talking about these things all week.  Rove did nothing wrong.  There is not some magivc vodoo juju attached to his answers to Hannity's stupid questions.  "Gee, couldn't he have waited until our party is over?'  Give me a break.  "If only Rove had shut his mouth and the NRSC had agreed to throw money at her while losing Nevada and CT in the process, then everything would be a-okay."  You guys are so emotional about this, it's like you're related to her.

Last month, Coons held a similar 46% to 36% lead over OÂ’Donnell after the candidates were virtually tied in July.

CoonsÂ’ ratings are 13% Very Favorable, 12% Very Unfavorable.

OÂ’Donnell is viewed Very Favorably by 16%, but 24% share a Very Unfavorable opinion of her.

Sixty percent (60%) approve of Democratic Governor Jack Markell's performance. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disapprove.

Yes... that should be point #6 on Ace's list.  It's a distraction that they hadn't counted on when Castle was a shoo-in.

The vitriol from our own side is unbelievable.

I am seeing either trolls, or lurkers coming out of the wood work just to rub it in.

We're on the same fucking side here people.

I don't know of one person on this blog, commentor or blogger who wanted Castle to win because he was more conservative or the better ideological candidate. th

Stop fucking acting like we were back stabbing you or we are part of some grand conspiracy to keep conservatism down.

You have to understand that there are some of use conservatives who are resigned to the fact that there are some battles we can't win and there are some minds we can't change.

I love conservatism, but i don't harbor some wet dream that everyone who understands conservatism will convert to it. I understand that there are some people who are as die hard in their beliefs as i am in mine. And I understand there are some states where those people outnumber us by so much that it would be impossible to have a Joe Miller or Marco Rubio win there.

How can you gloat? This is like rubbing a family members face in the dirt over a minor disagrement. A disagreement with the same goal in mind. Those of us that supported Castle did so because we thought it would best serve the republican and conservative movement. Those who opposed wanted the same goal but supported O'Donnell for the same reason.

I better understand why Ace gets pissed sometimes at people. Some people are just pugnacious for no reason. They have some sort of complex that they think everyone is against them at all times.

If you think the bloggers here, or most of the commenters are here are elitists, then have fun winning elections by yourself. They already have parties for people like you. They're third parties. If you want nothing but principle ALL the time with no consideration of political reality then become a Libertarian. They are great at being principled and losing every election.

I will support O'Donnell because I want republicans to control the senate. I want conservatives to control the congress. I just thought Castle would be an easier war to acheive that.

Why can't people accept that on good faith.

Well she just came pretty close with Karl Cameron.

She said: paraphrasing "those fucktards don't have much of a winning record right now"

Hell I might even send her money.

People just don't really get what is going on this year. This is the results from a poll taken awhile back for the Himes-Debicella race in CT. It's only one poll and it's a month old but look at the internals. The only thing liberal or even moderate that gets over 50% support is Pro-Choice at 60%. 40% of the people in the poll consider themselves Conservative. Only 23% said the same for liberals. 42% consider themselves republican, 41% say the same for Dem. 44% say they support the Tea Party. IN CONNECTICUT.

If Coons wins it will solely be because of character. NO ONE wants these liberal policies.

Cut it with the sour grapes. Pick up some bandages and get to healing. We got a lot of bodies to repair and send back out to the line.

If you'd bother to read back, I've been responding to the stupid dwelling on Rove and the NRSC, as if she's been dealt some kind of blow, something we didn't know about yesterday. 

Here's a thought:  where the fuck are the NSRC RNC on candidate recruitment?  If Castle was an unreliable RINO unacceptable to the conservative base, and O'Donnell has character issues that might turn off general election voters, how did we get to this point?

There were no GOP state legislators acceptable to both wings with no character issues?  No mayors?  No well-known, well-regarded businessmen?

Why isn't there a pipeline for prospective nominees?

Some WI primary results:

Republican-US Senate: Ron Johnson (discussed on this blog recently and will run against Feingold) has got about 85% of the vote and is the winner

Republican -WI 7th district (fucking Obey's seat) - Sean Duffy has ~65% and will win  - Sean is a young gun wannabe mentored by Paul Ryan - I like him a lot

Republican-Govenor: Scott Walker 57% to 41% over Mark Neuman; IMHO Walker is our best candidate

In this moron's area - all is well.

Posted by: MissTammy at September 14, 2010 11:07 PM (m8uUu)

Im sure Obowma was eagerly waiting to sign those too

Agree completely Ben. 

We as Conservatives should have one overriding goal this election -- reduce the control of government over our lives.  Some of us (me included) believe that Republicans taking back the Senate and the House best  achieves that goal.  Further, some of us (me included) believe Mike Castle (for all his many, many flaws) best enabled us to do that.    Some may say that is putting political considerations over principles, but as this is a race for political office in which people less Conservative than the typical O'Connell voter will have a say, I think we may want to pay attention to political considerations from time to time.

I realize that Castle is more liberal than O'Connell, but I also realize that Coons is more liberal than both Castle and O'Connell.  I believe O'Connell wining the Del. Rep. primary will result in a less Conservative Senate as the chances of her winning are, at present, slim.

I think people can, in good faith, differ from my reasoning.  I can disagree with their tactical judgment, but I am not going to impugn their sincerity or devotion to Conservative ideals. 

But if folks start casting Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer, Ace, the National Review, Powerline, Chris Christie into the outer darkness as "RINOs", I think the chances of continued Democratic control of government (and our lives) will increase tremendously.

Posted by: MissTammy at September 14, 2010 11:04 PM (m8uUu)

Indeed - to paraphrase, you go to battle with the forces you've got, not the forces you wish you had. 

The DE voters decided to go with the longshot, to the extent that we have any effect, we should be trying to not make those odds any longer.

This election of  Tea Party candidates in the primaries may just be what staves off a third party.

I continue to be baffled by people who assume at least 51% of blue-state voters are animated by the same issues they are.
Posted by: ace at September 14, 2010 10:20 PM (KUUXH)

But in many cases they are.  What November will come down to is pocket-book.  Things will not get better between now and then; they will get worse. The though of altering course is completely alien to Obama.

Consider: Obama  is a community agitator, that's what he does.  He demands answers and demonises the opposition.  That strategy works only if you have a fairly solid enemy.  If it is a nebulous problem you are up against, economic down turn, such action makes you look whiny and ineffectual.

Coons will be forced to embrace Obama, he can't run against him as an-anti democrat.  Hell, he's joined at the hip.  It is too late for Coons to define himself as an ousider.

So what we end up with is an underdog-system fighter going up against the monster Obama-Coons (what an unfortunate hypenation; I denounce myself).

Add to that a rabid base that will knock on doors, volunteer, etc. and you have a recipie for winning.  After all, McCain didn't win because his base said, "meh."  We faced the same "meh" factor here.  Castle may have felt like a safe move, but that's only in chess where the castle is a commanding, powerful piece.

(In my opinion Castle was just a piece...)

I honestly think they are trying to keep the heat up with her supporters who might be tempted to slack off after a victory. They need someone to rage against and the NRSC will do till Coons steps in it.

Which brings up a point Ace didn't mention. As far as I'm concerned.Castle blew this primary. He was an idiot to listen to Murky and McCain and go nuclear. He would have done far better to get her in a debate and have her explain  her positions on MidEast Policy and the International trade. If Coons does the same O'Donnell will close very quickly . If he is smart he talks nothing but issues and make them as complicated as possible hoping she makes more gaffes. Personal issues will not play this year.

OK, let's say they do form a third party.  What does that do to your party?  Your party is hosed.  Yeah, the third party loses.  But so do the republicans.  The winners are the democrats.

Yeah, I get it.  You wanted Castle.  So did a lot of people.  But we didn't get him.  As they say, its time to MoveOn.com. 

Yeah, it'd be great to have perfect candidates.  Or ideal candidates.  But we don't.

We gotta deal with the hand that we drew.

You're creating opposition that doesn't exist.  They still have doubts, but it's not like anybody on the right is pulling for Coons.  Even Rove said he hope she wins.

Posted by: Chris in Va at September 14, 2010 11:23 PM (uCjoj)

Yeah, I thought about that too, prior to the primary.  That's why I was hoping Castle would win.

But that's in the past.  And my powers of prognostication aren't good enough for me to embrace that strategy.

Gotta get behind O'Donnell.

Posted by: DrewM. at September 14, 2010 11:44 PM (ycZcD)

Meh, you  go ahead with me mmmkay?

See how that works.

FUCK THE NRSC!!!!

5 Reasons O'Donnell probably won't win the general:

1-- She beat Mike Castle by winning big in the two southern counties and Castle won New Castle County.  In November she will win the two southern counties and Coons will have more than enough votes in New Castle County (where Democrats are strongest) to win in a walk. 

2 -- She won't win moderate and independent voters.  They will vote Coons or stay home. 

3 -- With or without the NRSC she won't have the money -- the  big money Republican people in Delaware were Castle people -- lawyer, bankers, and professional types in suburban Wilmington.  These people are unlikely to write checks for her.  Nationally non-NRSC -- a candidate needs a money bomb -- who gets it?  The New Hampshire candidate or O'Donnell?  Angle or O'Donnell?  Toomey or O'Donnell?  Fiorina or O'Donnell?  In no case will big money go her way.  She'll need expensive Philly market ads to make dent in New Castle (see 1 above)-- she didn't need those as much in the primary.  Those ads cost money. She won't have it.

4 -- The rest of the nation thinks he is a joke and probably so do most Delawareans.  But Joe Biden is Delaware's guy (and that means a lot for a small state like Delaware to have a VP).  He'll campaign and campaign hard.  He wouldn't have as hard against Castle (it would have been more like "I like Coons").  Biden is a strong draw in Delaware.

5 -- Delaware has not elected a new Republican to a major office (Rep., Senator, Governor, AG, or LG) since 1995 (Jane Brady -- AG -- elected in 1995 -- left to become a judge in 2005).   The only other major GOP office holders in the state in the last 20 years have been Bill Roth (first elected as US Senator in the 70s), Mike Castle (first elected as LG with Pete duPont in the 80s) and Dale Wolf (elected LG in 1989 and chose not run in 1992).

The majority opinion is clearly that we should throw in the towel, curl up in a ball, and kiss our asses goodbye.

Pam:

Good luck on winning an election without actual voters.  We live in a democracy, which means the candidate with the most votes wins an election.  You seem intent on being dismissive of people (also known as voters) who don't agree with you 100% of the time.  If the National Review and the Weekly Standard are liberal rags in your mind, I think you are going to find that there are not many other people (i.e. voters) who share your worldview.  

Russ Feingold is toast. Drew have you seen what is happening in my state tonight.

It's a Conservative ass-whupping.  Scott Walker crushed former Congressman and somewhat conservative Mark Neumann by 20 points for the Gop Governor bid.

Feingold can go back to drinking and trolling for divorcees full time now.

Ace,

For what it's worth, I've been involved in Republican campaigns since 1968. And I half-hoped Castle would win tonight, purely for strategic reasons.

But:

I also believe Pat Fucking Caddell. There is something revolutionary afoot, and I would like to believe I'm a part of it (I worked for Ken Buck's campaign in the early days, but had to leave in April for a real job).

I don't know O'Donnell. I know she has a long trek across the minefield of her past. But the fact is, her opponent isn't "known" to be a bearded Marxist, he has called himself a bearded Marxist.

I also know next to nothing about Delaware. But for Christ's sake, this is the U.S. of A. Is Delaware going to elect a fucking Marxist, or a fucking paranoid Republican? I'll take the FPGOP. I hope Delaware will, too.

My point is that O'Donnell can win, and it is not that much of a stretch to believe she can. She doesn't need a lot of money (it's fucking Delaware, for fuck's sake). But she could use a lot of Republicans who are willing to say, "OK, beeotch, you won, how can I help?" 

For all those Republicans out there who wanted Castle to win? He lost. It's time to get behind the winner.

That's what we DO. That's who we ARE.

What good is a Republican MAJORITY

LIBERAL PUSSIES

I WANT TO "WIN"

 THE SUPERBOWL

Food for thought. Obama ridden out of town on a rail.

http://tinyurl.com/9tujz7

Whether O'Donnell wins or not (and I'm in Texas, so I don't have a vote in this race), at the VERY least, this should put the fear of God into all of the squishes in both the House and the Senate that the grubby masses aren't going away, and they had better understand that we are watching them very carefully.

I'm sure the moderate Repubs thought that the Tea Party was a one-off that they only had to deal with for a couple of years.  Hopefully some of them are starting to realize that we aren't taking their "go along to get along" anymore.  We're mad, and we are energized like never before.

If this doesn't make Snowe, Collins, Graham, and Brown think twice before casting their votes for the next few years, then they may be in real danger of not returning after their next election(s).

If O'Donnell wins and is a train wreck, then she is out of there in 4 years.  That's the beauty of this "grand experiment" that our Founders conceived of all those years ago.  I guarantee you Cornyn, McConnell, and Boehner are all running scared right now - and that's a good thing for ALL of us.

Now we work hard to get as many R's elected as possible.  It's gonna be messy for a while, but I think that people truly feel hope for the future, which is something that has been sorely missing for the past 2 years.

It'll all work out; maybe not the way that we envisioned, but who would have thought on that night in November, 2008 that the pendulum would swing so far so quickly?  It's going to be OK......

Is there an inverse ratio to the strength of an argument and the amount of all caps used?

***zzzzzz***zzzzzzz***zzzzzz

Huh...wats goin on...?

Hey, what the hell?

Oh that does it.

Now I'm fuckin' pissed.

I'm gonna rip off some heads...

 I was amazed at how few people actually voted in the primary in fact.There must not be very many Republicans in Delaware. And I think that might be the thing that a lot of people are overlooking.

Turnout was quite high.  In the 2008 Delaware Presidential primary -- an early primary with several presidenital candidates dedicating significant resources there were 50k voters -- tonight there were 57k. 

AmishDude, McCain watched Obama kick US in the balls and called him a friend and gentleman.  Then Obama kicked McCain in the balls and McCain said .  "Thank you Sir, may I have another".

Then Obama raped America, hired, Geithner, Sebellius, Chu, Rodham, Napolitano, Van Jones and a cast of DOZENS of CZARS.

McCain should be a lesson to us.  He didn't fight and look what we got.

Coons?  Can't wait to see Obie campaigning for Coons.  Think it'll happen?

Yeah, nothing.

If the Senate were 80-20 R/D right now, there wouldn't be half enough conservatives in it to do anything good or to stop anything bad. There is no conservative party—as Rove and the RNSC have so pointedly reminded us this evening.

O'Donnell can't win, but at least the GOP lost. Best possible result. Pragmatically speaking.

'But as for now, those who are rejoicing with glee must understand that you share your celebration with Harry Reid and the Democrats who couldn't be happier with this result.'

I am not rejoicing but there weren't any good choices here.

Reid would have been celebrating if Castle won. DE was a win win for him. Rebublicans would have voted for a fairly reliable wote for his side. Republicans would have voted for Democrat bi-partisian support of whatever next big ticket, media hyped boondogle that comes along.

Castle would have voted to expand the government and lessen liberty at every step and Republicans would get the blame, deservedly.

We have been following the super-strategist, hyper-cynical win at all costs strategy for a while and it has only grown government. I want it smaller.

Time to listen to other people.

Why do all these RINOs think that the democrats are going to turn out this election anyway

They are just as mad at this congress as Republicans are

so they are going to stay home

so why have a NAMB PAMBY canidate that doesnt energize the conservatives

who cares about winning over the liberals they wont be going to the polls anyway

When the RINO is down 13 points in a Blue state is anyone here going to even be talking about the race?  What are the bloggers here saying about Pennsylvania?  Nevada?  Florida? California?

Since when has fucking Delaware become the hill to die on and determine your bonafides as supporting conservative candidates?

You guys sure put alot of faith in one Daily Kos/PPP poll done in the middle of the primary.

Hey you condescending prick. Educate yourself about what's required to override a presidential veto. It fucking takes 67, not 60:

To override a presidential veto, a supermajority vote of two-thirds of the voting members of each house, the House of Representatives and the Senate, is required. There are 435 voting representatives in the House. If all these representatives voted, it would take 2/3rds of 435 = 290 votes to override a veto. In the Senate, it also takes a 2/3rds of 100 members = 67 votes to override a veto. (But if only 90 actually voted, then it would take only 2/3 of 90 = 60 votes to override).
Assuming all members turn out to vote, 290 (House) + 67 (Senate) = 357 total votes are required to override a presidential veto.

Hey deb, I haven't seen you for a while.  I'm not sure but the other week on the ONT I said "fuck you commie" to you in jest and think maybe you took it as an actual insult.  I'm sorry for that and it was meant as a humorous response to something you had posted earlier.  It was not meant as an insult or to offend.

Posted by: buzzion at September 15, 2010 12:09 AM (oVQFe)

Hey buzz, you must have missed my response. You owe me a keyboard!!!1!!

I have a geat sense of humor (thankfully!!). No worries. It's why I love this joint.

"For a guy with so much political knowledge, DrewM, you sure have no faith in the power of effort against great odds. " Eman

The strength of a candidate matters.  To date, O'Donnell does not appear to have the intelligence, charisma or political skill of Brown.  It reminds me a little of the 1993 NFL Playoffs when the Bills came back from a 32 point halftime deficit to beat the Oilers. The Bills made it to the Superbowl and faced the Cowboys. The Cowboys killed the Bills over the 1st half.  Going into the locker someone asked Jimmy Johnson if he was afraid of the Bills doing to the Cowboys what the Bills did to the Oilers.  JJ smiled and said "We are not the Oilers".  The Cowboys stomped the Bills in the 2nd half.

O'Donnell could come from behind like Brown, but she does not seem to be a Brown (whom by the way, is probably only marginally more conservative than Castle).

If The NRSC doesnt want to spend OUR MONEY

where we want them to then FUCK THE NRSC

Ill send my MONEY to the SOURCE

Stop with the fricking analysis paralysis Ace.  The most dynamic movement in the last 150 years is the tea party phenomenon and intellectualizing the non-perfect conservative against the non-perfect RINO is wearing thin and should be shelved in now supporting O'Donnell who I would imagine is more aligned than not with your professed conservative ideology.

Perhaps those of us who supported O'Donnell, taking a page out of the Castle apologists' play book, should now tell the NRC to pound sand.  Does that sound sophisticated Ace?  Does that sound pragmatic Ace?

Guess not . . . and perhaps a teachable moment in DE tonite?

What is the cutoff in DE to switch parties or register?

There are a bunch of dates --

March 30 was the last date to switch affiliations if you wanted to vote in the primaries.

Aug. 21 was the last date to register to vote in primaries if you weren't already affiliated with another party

Oct. 9 is the last date to register for the general.

Notice the media consultant got all her endorsements from pundits like Levin, Limbaugh, Hannity, Malkin and Palin. DeMint and Bachman were the only politicians who endorsed her; they raise quite a bit of money crowing about their purity. They should spread the wealth around. I would hope endorsing an outsider would prompt them to do the polite thing and write a check.

GUS

A moderate republican is someone like Mccain

who spends most of his time with the other teams and not his own

Delaware is a teeeeeny tiny teeeeeeeensy State.  

It has 2 Senators, just like California.

O'Donnell is clearly more Conservative and sane than Coons.

What's the ISSUE folks.  

I think I have an answer to my own question.  Even self described Conseratives can be squishes.  I mean, the "CONVENTIONAL WISDOM", is neither conventional nor wise.
Some of "us", have been domesticated by our lives viewing LIBTARD MEDIA outlets.   We accept SOME ONE ELSE's TEMPLATE.

O'Donnell WILL LOSE, if squishes get squishy.  Who the FUCK is COONS.

But here is my really DEEP analysis.   Sarah Palin.

Some of you FUCKTARDS have bought into the IDEA, that Sarah Palin is either UNELECTABLE or SHE ISN'T SMART.

Those of you who believe this are just plain old fasioned REEEEEETARDS.

Don't let the MEDIA LIE/DRUM BEAT..................think for you.
We saw it with G.W.BUSH.  Where even good normally conservative peeps, started to buy into the HYPE/NONSENSE.

GROW A SPINE OR BALLS FOLKS.

SukitTREBEK, you are correct.  2 WORDS.  Term limits.

McCain has gotten way way way too comfortable BEING PALS and COCKTAILING, DINING and BBQ'ing with the HIGH CLASS HOITY TOITY Ruling 'TARDS.

The temptations of having power and fame and a modicum of wealth secure retirement and definite oppurtunities financially upon leaving office, if ever....over rides the reason for McCain being there.

GOING ALONG TO GET ALONG.

As we get fucked down the river.

[D]oesn't the fact that Castle lost this primary make his status as someone who would have been a "freebie" in the general more than a little suspect?

No.  The primary is a different beast because it overstated conservative voters strength as a proportion of the Delaware electorate. 

Castle had crossover appeal from independents and democrats.  There was a reason Beau Biden didn't run for that seat -- Mike Castle.  (Sure you can say if he has lot of appeal to Dems I don't want him -- but in Delaware a Republican needs that crossover). 

In 13 statewide general election he never had less than 55% -- and that was only 2x.  Most elections he was well over 60% and often around 70%.

In the non-incumbent Senate elections this cycle, Castle one of the GOP's strongest pickups.

50/50 Senate at 15%

The Delaware race fell from a toss up to a ~25/75 likelihood with OÂ’Donnell winning tonight. 51+ also took a hit from the DE expectation drop.

•First wave ately at risk
      FL: 70/25/5

Hey Mike, what a way to support your party, cocksucker!

What'd she get -  25,000 votes?  Some giant Red Wave there!  There were more people than that in the porta-johns while Glenn Beck was speaking a couple weeks ago.  Her voters could fill a rest stop on the Delaware Turnpike.  Most of Castle's voters are going to stay home or vote for Coons.  She'll be lucky to break 50,000 in November. 

She's a caricature of a candidate.  The Democrats will make mincemeat of her.  And her whiny little "poor me, the establishment is attacking me because I am standing up for freedom!!1!!!111!!" bullshit won't sell against a Democrat who hasn't been around long either.   It's a fucking BLUE STATE, people.  55 percent of them still think Barack Obama is doing a super-fine job. 

I cannot believe these dipshits in Delaware have just screwed us out of a Senate majority.  It is COMPLETE wishcasting to believe O'Donnell has any chance of winning.

Oh, and good for John Cornyn to refuse to give her any money.  She would just spend it on rent and shoes, which is all she has done for the 5 years she has been a professional candidate.

Drew,  I  make the case that in this environment the Rubio, Angle Portmann et als WILL WIN.

The O'Donnell campaign COULD WIN in this tsunami, but SHE NEEDS your cash more than the rest.
But if you are trying to defend the NRSC and it's press release.

Send it to NV, WV, PA, CT, WI, WA, CA, FL etc. first.  Much better investment.

Many of you said the same about each of those states not so long ago.

I urge you all to knock it off and not create a self-fulfilling prophecy here.

'List of vindictive little bitches:

Bennett - UT

Murkowski - AK

Specter - PA 

Crist - FL

Castle - DE

Who am I missing?'

I see a pattern don't you?

Who are the party quitters again Castle people?

Delaware Republicans chose an ultra-right wing extremist who is out of step with Delaware values. Christine O'Donnell cares more about imposing an extreme social doctrine than addressing the challenges facing working people," said DSCC chairman Robert Menendez in a statement. "Even the Delaware Republican Party Chairman has said O'Donnell is 'not a viable candidate for any office in the state of Delaware', and 'could not be elected dog catcher.'"

Fuck the Delaware Dems!

Bennett - UT

Murkowski - AK

Specter - PA 

Crist - FL

Castle - DE

Who am I missing?

That's a silly list -- there is a world of difference between a) choosing not to endorse the primary winner after a particularly nasty campaign and b) swtiching parties (Specter); looking to switch parties/ write in (Murkowski) or running as a third party candidate (Crist).

It would be one thing for Castle to endorse Coons -- which he has not done.

He has, in the immediate aftermath of a lot of vitriol, chosen to not endorse the winner.

I really think we could use a thread of all Senate races with most recent polling data.  See where the Republicans are likely to keep their seats.  See where the Republicans are ahead and likely to take the seat from a Dem.  See where they are within the margin of error.  See where they are behind and can still gain enough support to win.  And see where they are far behind.

I think we need the reality check and to know where the best places to pick the point of attack are.  Because really spending time on the solid locks  and the long shot no shots are both ridiculous.

Well polling will tell you reid is ahead in nv, and it would be wrong!Over  100 people got layed off this week at the union plaza, and the media in nv is strong on reid, but i see the bumper stickers, and talk to people, and everyone i know wants him gone. Just sayin!!

"Again, let me ask you...how much thought/effort should we give a guy like  Joe DioGuardi?"

Here's the fucking deal - I don't know who this guy is right off the top of my head.  That's why I come to this site.  I don't follow MSM outlets because they suck and blogs are supposed to be superior and all. 

So when I want to figure out if I should send a candidate money, I'll check out sites like this.  When you guys (talking about the bloggers here) have been doing the rah rah, yay team, catch the big fucking wave, historically unprecedented, pre-revolutionary pep rally shit, then give a big fuck-her-she-can't-win so we're not going to devote any time or effort, it makes you look like you're totally full of shit.

You come across like a bunch of MFM hacks in a CNN-style Situation room giving your cynical, old school analysis.  If you're going to do this shit, let me know so I can ignore the GO TEAM GO shit you guys put up every other day.  Hell, let me know so I can just check out a different blog.  But just be honest for fuck's sake.

"Seriously, the O'Donnell supporters are a bunch of delusional bitches.  You just spent two weeks calling Castle and his supporters faggot commies and now you're angry he's not lining up behind you.  Hey weren't you proven right - the backstabbing RINO's really are backstabbing RINO's.  Time to send inane irrational hate scribbles like Mark Levin, break out the bubbly and take in 38% in the Delaware general!"

As he like-wise savaged her and as you tried to call us not party people. It is time for you to get behind the Republican nominee.

Don't create a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or is that 51st seat really not that important to you?

Are you nuts? John Fucking McCain was out candidate in 2008. You remember John Fucking McCain? The moderate, the one the media loved because he bucked his own party?

Yeah we went pure with that one.

'This is fucking hysterical.  Chrissy O'Donnell was making noises about running third-party if she lost.  (And who could blame her; she'd have had to in order to keep the donations coming in to pay her rent until her next campaign.'

Thank you for supporting the Republican nominee for the DE Senate seat.

Go eat a bag of dicks, hypocrite.  You too, Christine.

Thank you for eating shit and dying, pig.

Slightly????

And seriously, the MFM is going to tar Republicans as kooky/retarded any-fucking-way, so spare these arguments about why that makes O'D a bad choice.

I get the idea about money from the NRSC, but the idea that they should cut off the money supply because they have Obama-thin skin is damn near juvenile.  It's politics for the love of Holy Bacon. 

Sure, the NRSC should be smart about how it allocates resources, but coming out the night she wins and cutting her off?  How is that strategic or tactical??

It WAS important to me!  It obviously wasn't important to those 25,000 numbskulls in Delaware who would rather "hunt RINOs" than build a real lasting Republican majority in Congress.

How important is that 51st Senate seat to you?

I was lead to believe it was all important. Is it not any longer?

And her ads are spot on! Dems saying she is extreme because she wants smaller government, and telling you, they are working in her favor. But hubby thinks reid has a warchest that can beat her, sadly!!

This.  The only thing worse than nominating a conservative and having him lose because he's unelectable is nominating a RINO and having him lose.  Not only have you lost, but independents think there's no difference in the parties.  Hell, your base thinks that too.

How important is that 51st Senate seat to you?

I repeat:  Fuck you.  It's the only response you deserve.
