O'Donnell, and the Tea Party in general, is far right and out of America's mainstream politics. I doubt she would be pleasing most Americans if she cant even prevent a Democratic landslide in a state that was garaunteed Republican a week ago. |
It was guaranteed republican because the man running as a republican was as much a democrate as he was a republican.
the GOP only wanted him because a real Republican could not win. They would rather have the numbers then anyone who will vote in there favor when it really matters.
Backing him was just so they could take speaker of the house.
And TeaParty Members are for balanced budgets and limited government. How is that far right? Almost everyone in the US is for that.
If the founding fathers were alive today, they would be tea party members.
Look, there is no way a party that every media outlet in the world hates can win 5-10 seats in the house, if there were not millions of Americans identifying with them. They are not extreme.
