Why on earth did we freaking nominate O'Donnell for the Delaware seat?  The GOP is completly blowing their chacnes to win seats in November.  Instead of nominating moderates in the Northeast, we're picking conservative candidates who have no chance of defeating Democrats.  The dumb Tea Partiers are turning out in the primaries, but they aren't going to be able to give us a majority in the general election, and we've take na a GRAND opportunaity and completely flushed it down the drain.

Christine O'Donnell will lose, and we've lost our chance at taking vulnerable seats in the Senate.  And you've got talking heads like Hannity praising these "victories" and it pisses me off - because they're towing this conservative BS line that isn't going to win us seats in November.  It's morons like this that make me hate the GOP.  Switching back to the green avatar for a while because of this.

but it probably means the GOP is leading in CA, WA, WI, NV

There's no way the Democrats lose CA, and I think Reid will hold in Nevada.

Shouldn't this read, "Thank you CONSERVATIVES for completely screwing our chances in 2010?"

Putting up conservative challenges to Murkowski and Ayotte were fair game moves. O'Donnell was just mental retardation in electoral form.

I blame Republicans as a whole.  Moderates didn't turn out, and more conservatives/Republicans in general need to realize that you can't ALWAYS vote on principle.  Sometimes you need to vote on winability.

Conservatives don't want to have the majority. I've decided this to be true.

Well, let's face it - we weren't going to win the Senate anyway.  Now we'll just have a smaller minority.

I was just checking out stuff on Intrade.  People who bought Delaware shares are either really happy today or really pissed off.

Also, the Iowa Electronic Markets have the possibility of the Republicans taking the Senate taking a huge hit:

If the Democrats hold the Senate because of this - which is really quite likely, now - the infighting within the GOP is going to get hilariously ugly.

There's no way the GOP was going to take back the Senate even with Delaware.  My prediction was Republicans gain 8 seats (49 seats).  9 would've been possible but unlikely.  Even then, the Democrats still would control the Senate.  We would've had to have won 10 seats, and that just wasn't going to happen.
