So now what?

[angee_is_mad]

Halter lost, lincoln won.

Do we get behind her to beat the teabagger? Do we hope that Halter has put the fire under her ass, so that she know that she is vulnerable to the left as well as the right? Would this realization make her do the right and swing more center left?

A lot to take in tonight. I just hope orly makes it through in Ca. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving. Yay Orly!!!!!

[Captain Hilts]

1. It's a bitter pill, but yeah, we have to support her. Sux. nt

[Clio the Leo]

2. Of course we do ...... Yay Blanche...

(said as unenthusiastically as I can muster right now)

[angee_is_mad]

5. Don't you feel so dirty now?

lol.

I can only hope she has learned a lesson from this wake up call.

[Clio the Leo]

7. No .... just bummed.

I NEVER EVER EVER support primary challengers .... NEVER .... I basically disagree with the concept.

This was ONE exception.

I'm now 0-1 lol

[jenmito]

3. Of COURSE we have to get behind her to beat the teabagger! She's a conservadem,

but she'd be one more Dem. to stop Repubs. from gaining the majority.

[depakid]

4. She's a loser in the fall

and in the scheme of things, that's really a net gain- as it makes the party that much closer to drawing a bright line Democratic policies- and Republican ideology.

[jenmito]

6. No, it is NOT really a net gain if she loses! You wanna see "Majority Leader Boehner"? n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

9. That's not gonna happen this year. Or 2012. or 2014, or 2016 and beyond....

Boehner is a representative, not a Senator.

McConnell is the one you're thinking of.

[jenmito]

13. Oops. Senator McConnell. I won't edit my post or your reply won't make sense.

:blush:

[Jennicut]

8. Isn't she pro choice? There are worse things then DLC Dems...they are called conservative Rethugs.

[Hawkeye-X]

11. I wouldn't say pro-choice..

More like a mixed bag.

[Jennicut]

17. Yeah, so so.

This is a bad choice...bad and even worse. Conservative Dem vs Teabagger. Lovely.

[jefferson_dem]

12. Fuck that.

I'll support the Democrat. And you should promote their defeat on your own dime. It shouldn't happen here on this board.

[jenmito]

15. +1.

[depakid]

20. I'll support progressive principles and values

And Lincoln doesn't share them- but works against them

She's EXACTLY what's wrong with the Democratic party and exemplifies why Democrats are looking down the barrel of a Republican majority in the house.

The party is far better off without her in the Senate legitimizing failed right wing ideology and crossing over and voting with Republicans.

At any rate, it doesn't much matter- as I've said she's toast and everyone here ought to be spending their time and money supporting candidates in other races who have a reasonable chance to be elected.

[jefferson_dem]

10. Of course we get behind her.

Shit. Consider the teabagging alternative. Boozman's a freak.

[Hawkeye-X]

14. I'll stand behind her

to kick her ass. Repeatedly. To remind that she represents the people, not the corporations.

[jefferson_dem]

16. Word.

Demand accountability...all the way to November.

[angee_is_mad]

19. I don't condone violence toward woman

but I understand.

disclaimer:::: I'm joking folks

[OhioBlue]

18. of course we get behind her for Nov.

as much as it sucks... she is still way better than a Republican.

Halter put up a good fight. I wish he had won.
