It is a fine article, except one BIG - HUGE thing.

Castle was attacked just as much, even prior to his addressing O'Donnell.

It was mostly done via the TEA PARTY EXPRESS and various Conservative "VOICES" who basically lied about his record on a number of occasions.

Our tunnel vision is lost in fashion.

We see GOP as bad, and have empowered a gift for the Democratic Partisans in a State which is decidedly Democrat.

Castle ran like a true 'expecting' Politician, with a record loved by most of Delaware, not liked by much of us Conservatives. He took O'Donnell and the Tea Party Express for granted. A huge mistake. Some have reported, Democrats voted for O'Donnell in the Primary, to aid a victory for Democrats in the General.

Either way, we lose...

And now it is growing clear, O'Donnell has actually been exploited, with a few other poor TEA PARTY EXPRESS Candidates, as an advertisement to stereotype the Republican offering as a whole.

It is a reality. Not so much the fault of O'Donnell, (except a terrible offering from the beginning - way in over her head for the Senate - needing something to work with besides lies about her education), but a prime - easy prey for the Democratic Partisan Machine to exploit with great effect.

WE just cannot have the same. Negative ADS work when there is basis. We used to call it telling the truth - being honest about the record. And yes, the Democrats are finding an easy stereotype out EAST to run a negative slant against O'Donnell - as well as portray this as a symbol of their opposition.

We should know better.

After McCain, one would think we all would be far more serious about Our Candidates.

That crap only works on morons. Period.

It's as simple as this. Party trumps person. Period

It's a GD nose count in Congress and I don't give a shit if my Republican is gay or has had financial problems or rides a fucking bicycle with training wheels.

Until such time as there is a party that more represents my values then the Republicans(Tea Party-Sarah Palin) and has a legitimate shot at power, if I have to hold a hankie over my nose, Republicans will always get my vote. Period
