The why Elizabeth Dole is an awful pol thread

Did she really think Bouchard had a shot? She's an idiot. Pure and simple.

The respective Senatorial campaign chairs have to have their upset race but when you're in the final weeks of the campaign, you can't divert a million to that upset race when your candidate is still way behind. It's even worse when you consider the fact that the pulled out of Montana when polls showed it narrowing!

I agree. She single handily blew the chance for the GOP to hold the Senate. I'm glad she's incompetent, though. I mean, who actually liked Burns?

I didn't but I liked having the Senate.

With Reid, it's like you do have the Senate. He's getting utterly routed by McConnell in procedure.

She is not an idiot actually, She just seems like one.

Well, she's displaying all the symptoms.

Quite frankly, I think Burns' chances were blown when Bush made the appearance out there, rather than the NRSC not spending money for advertising.  Otherwise, he might have eeked through, but I can't say I'm unhappy the opposite happened.

Strangely enough, Burns' strategy of attacking Tester on taxes was highly effective using his own money.  I doubt the NRSC would have spent it as wisely.

It could have been a conjunction of the two. Plus, I'm sure Burns' "comments" on out-of-state firefighters didn't help his cause, either. It was a horrible campaign on all ends, I guess.
