Obama is not qualified to be the President of the United States either and that didn't stop voters.

You call Obama, Pelosi, and Reid Marxist, but I wonder why. What has any of them done to warrant that description? Have you any concrete examples?
In order to lead effectively you need actual policies, actual budgets with actual numbers on them. What ideas have these non-RINO GOP folks seriously brought to the table, other than tax cuts for the rich (which were the rule during the faltering economics of the Bush years) and inane calls for a smaller government?
It's fine to be against something, okay, but it's even better to be for something else. What are you for, Montego? Getting rid of the department of education like Sharon Angle? Teaching Creationism in schools in Sarah Plain? Denying 9/11 workers health care like the Senate GOP?

Mike Castle would have been a very good senator, instead, we have a total fruitcake who cannot pay her bills and doesn't believe the law applies to her. She won't win but if she does she will feel comfortable in Congress. Charlie Rangel, a crook who doesn't pay his taxes but writes laws that make you pay yours, will be re-elected in a landslide, and there are dozens of congressmen and senators who have liens against them, criminal records, are in arrears in debt, don't pay child support, etc. etc.
If we stupidly and blindly keep electing people to Congress that pass laws they continually break and have no intention of following themselves, then this says just one thing and that is that the American voter is an idiot. Voting for people like Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, O'Donnell, and a variety of other nitwits, crooks, felons, and unqualified individuals doesn't say very much about the electorate that is at all positive.
Winston Churchill once said that the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. He was, unfortunately, 100% correct.

Chris Coons will easily win the race now on what would have been a hands down GOP win due to O'Donnell's unpopularity with her own party and her checkered past. Sarah Palin should have kept her big mouth shut on this one. Way to go Sarah!

The GOP ruling class had better get it through their thick skulls that the citizens of this country are sick of them. We want real conservatives that will work to undo the marxist policies of Comrade Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. A congress filled with clones of Castle, McCain, and Olympia Snowe will NEVER enact conservative policies, so what would be the point?
