Red wave failure

Hi Lew,

I have been reading a lot of the things about the Big Red Wave that wasn’t. As a committed non-voter I have been explaining to conservatives for a long time that Republicans will never generate enough voter enthusiasm to get anywhere and long as the party apparatchiks keep offering flawed candidates as the only alternative to whoever the flawed Democrat candidate is. For those who control the party apparatus the most important quality in who they allow to run is how obedient they will be. They would rather loose elections than support someone who thinks for themselves. The example I loved pointing out to people is this year’s Georgia Senate race. The two parties gave the voters the “choice” between the guy who put a gun to his wife’s head and threatened to kill her, or the guy who tried to kill his wife by running her down with his car! So rather than decide who to vote for based on various policy positions, you get to decide based on which method of attempting to kill your wife you find to be the least offensive.
