O'Donnell Loses National Support

It's time to fold up the tent

Maybe a year or so of down time to recharge the batteries after this drubbing by Ed would help.  Maybe on the US-Mexico border, searching for your soul, inner peace, and an illegal or two.  Heard it does wonders for the kids.

I think this is the reason for the

Greeley reference:

President Bush is tentatively scheduled to make an appearance in Greeley this Saturday to campaign for both Musgrave and Beauprez.

You have to wonder...

It must be at LEAST a little disheartening for the Republicans to have to pour so much money into Musgrave's campaign term after term. She should be condsidered failure by the GOP based on the mere fact she has never really had a clear, commanding victory in a Republican district. Clearly, even many Republicans feel that they are not being represented in Washington. Being a former Republican, I certainly feel that way.

Not Really A Suprise

They probably would have given up sooner had the race not recieved so much publicity and special fundraising early on.

Ed ran a great campaign, but O'Donnell was also just a terrible candidate.  Like the big line says, he was spending so much time trying to recover from his own mistakes and explain his own actions, that there was no way he was going to step and take a lead in a district that was already predicted to be tough for him. 

I'm going to say Perlmutter by 9 points.  Some will call that a high margin, but almost everybody around here thought he was neck and neck with Peggy Lamm before he handily defeated her in the primary.

Amen.

I spent most of my time the last few months with this campaign and I am proud to be part of it and impressed with the enthusiasm and efficiency of Ed's campaign.

Wrong

That's funny, they have spent over $900k on O'Donnell in the last couple of weeks and I just saw an ad on TV not 15 minutes ago.
