Mr. Hope and Change is losing support.

No candidate will be perfect. Absolutely no candidate could ever be everything to everyone.

That being said, an Irish Setter would be such a vast improvement over the democrat's predestined choice that this is beyond a no-brainer.

while that may be true, history says otherwise when it gets down to crunch time. most recent example is reid. he was primed to fall, most nevadans hate the guy for a lot of reasons. so what do the repubs do? find some idiot woman that acted like a psycho ward escapee. first, a woman has a huge hill to climb just because she's a woman. second, if they're completely extreme, right or left, or come across as psycho's, they're done. bachmann doesn't stand a chance, no matter what she does or who she's running against. she's talked too much already.
"generic" might be nice for a feel good poll right now, but when it gets down to it, the repubs better find somebody that can actually lead and contend, or they're gonna get smoked again... just the way it is...

As much as I hate the fact that what you posted is true, it is. When we were traveling thru Nevada on the way to Burley in June of 2008, the #1 bumber sticker, and #1 billboard outside of Vegas was "anybody but Reid". Well I guess that wasn't 100% true. Throw in the candidate they did, and the fruit loop nut jobs and liberal assholes in Vegas, and it was a done deal. I use to ask the question, "how can you idots have elected Reid AGAIN" Then some dipshit ask me the samething about Piglosi. At least I could respond she's a Representitive, and the fudge packers elected the bitch, not me. It was outside my control. The whole damn state of Nevada votes for a Senator. And they still could oust that moron.
This has always been one of my favorites. He has the same reasoning as ram does with SS. Never tell the feds how to interpret the laws they wrote. SS isn't an insurance plan, even thouh the word is in the name of the tax act, never think your entitled, even though thats the exact words they use to discuss SS payments. And never believe income tax is voluntary, even thought Harry says it is.

Hard to believe educated people of sound mind would actually elect this dickhead. I guess the operative word here are "educated" and "sound mind"

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! While the stickers clearly read the need to dump the chump, the union workers proved true to form and voted their party lines without a second thought about their state's representation.

Nothing different from what happened nation-wide in 2008. Sheep!

I believe you guys are being terribly unfair to Sharon Angle. I saw and heard her speak many times and there was nothing 'psycho' or 'nutty' about her in my mind. I realize the scumbag lefty media painted her as such, and scumbag lefty sheep bought into it, but I'd hope that Conservatives would be able to see through the enemy's stereotyping of decent Conservative candidates. Perhaps that's too much to hope for.

Don't believe for a moment that the mainstream media aren't geared up, once again, to blast any possible GOP candidates in all races just as they did Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Meg Whiteman and so many others as if the tiny fly in the ointment these media wonders discovered wasn't completely eclipsed by the absolute and complete incompetence of their democrat counterparts. In many cases, they were successful at herding their flock of dumb and blind sheep into voting for the far worst candidate by spewing partial truths and completely ignoring the weightier matters of the election.
They will take a Mitt Romney and spend 1/2 of every broadcast until the election blasting his religion while completely overlooking his economic genius at a time when our country is economically bankrupt, both financially and in terms of leadership. Truth be told, if Romney were elected, none of us will be forced to have plural wives or move to Utah but the country will experience the best economic leadership it has seen in decades, but they wouldn't talk about that.
They will do the same with each and every GOP candidate across the nation every election until they finally file bankruptcy and go off the air or close down the paper from a lack of subscriptions. As long as these sheep follow the media further into the black hole, the problem will get worse.

What they considered the ultimate victory, electing a completely inexperienced community organizer to the presidency, has turned out to be the worst thing that has happened to America since the great depression, and by the end of his term in office, this disaster may easily eclipse the great depression with his lack of leadership and complete incompetence but rather than report the problem they helped create, they will continue to sweep the unemployment under the rug, ignore the deficit being doubled, pay no attention to the corruption in this administration, and look deep into the past of Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman and the like to make America suffer through another term of completely failed hope and change somehow believing it will work this time. Einstein described them well.

All her life she showed little interest in politics, then all of a sudden her wealth into the race. Which I'm not saying is a bad thing. I just don't understand the motives, and the lies.

I certainly won't disagree with you on her motiviation to be California's governor but I do have two questions:
Do you believe her business savvy would've been beneficial to a fiscally irresponsible state?
Do you honestly believe Jerry Brown (the only real alternative to Meg) is/was a better person in office at this time?

Honest questions.

not at all unfair. she may be a wonderful person, but she was caught either off guard or on guard and made statements that came out a bit loony. not necessarily her fault. look at palin and paul revere. doesn't make them bad, or make them potential bad leaders. but it does give the impression of someone that would say or do the wrong thing at the wrong time. she was just a terrible candidate. the candidate doesn't have to be everything to everybody, but they do have to make people believe. taking extreme, or hard line positions when campaining can be a very bad thing. and people are always listening.
