Rick Weiland implodes, accuses DSCC of sabotaging his campaign

[Maxwell]

That's a Frank Caprio kind of move.

To be fair to Caprio, they actually did screw him. The DSCC has actually been fully fighting for Weiland, so he's just being a child.

[Maxwell]

Damn. It's supposed to be Republicans who royally screw up races like this, not us...

We had Mourdock and Akin, and you have Udall and Weiland. I guess things are even now .

Don't forget about Ed FitzGerald

[Maxwell]

Weiland is actually a stronger candidate than Pressler, if Pressler's utter collapse is any evidence. I think, for sure, Pressler would've been a better Senator, but he was just a couple of points behind Rounds before falling to 19%.

You know something? Other websites are saying this is a very bold move by Weiland. Why all the Debbie Downerism here?

Which is worse: Rounds's scandal, or this?

Probably because Weiland is going to cost us this seat and should have dropped out when Pressler started surging, or better yet, never ran in the first place.

Pressler is overrated. Orman is a much better candidate.

No offense or anything, but what's your point?  What matters is that Pressler could've won a head-to-head with Rounds while Weiland has shown he couldn't beat a bowl of tomato soup.  Given that Pressler would've caucus with the Democrats and voted well to the left of his state, who cares whether he's stronger or weaker than Orman?  Pressler may be somewhat weaker than Orman, but Weiland is about fifty times weaker than Chad Taylor

Pressler's residency issues doomed him.

If you're arguing Pressler couldn't win a head-to-head with Rounds, while I disagree, it's certainly not an unreasonable position.  If you're arguing that Pressler couldn't win a head-to-head with Rounds, but Weiland could...well...that's a rather questionable claim at best.

Judging by the complete reversal of the poll numbers, neither could, but Pressler's numbers were, unarguably, much much softer than Weilands. In a shocking scenario I could see Pressler win, Weiland couldn't, but I think Weiland would have a higher average due to Democrat loyalty.
