Those kind of candidates give away safe Senate seats in red states. I hope there is ton of money thrown against this fringe candidate who lost his sheriff's race by 10 points last year.
Christine O Donnell in Delaware Sharron Angle in Nevada Todd Akin in Missouri Richard Mourdock in Indiana Roy Moore in Alabama
Here is what happens...several run in a low turnout primary. Some is elected that isn't a top candidate only to get slaughtered in the general. Primaries matter. I remember Clayton Williams in Texas..the last Republican gubernatorial candidate to lose...way back in 1990. CW said rape was like the weather, you can't do anything about it so you might as well enjoy it...Never good to give up a safe seat to a gaffe prone candidate. Not in this age of information.

Martha McSally is not the RINO some make her out to be. She would be the most electable, A vote for Arpaio is a vote for Chuck Schumer.

I would not have voted for either, but you are choosing to vote for Arapaio presumably because he is a republican and therefore would be better for your country in your view. This is what I find odd about the USA. Morals are tossed out the window when it comes to supporting candidates as long as they are of the party that represents your flavour. And I view Dems with as much suspicion as I view GOPS. There seems to be a dearth of people putting their names forward for nominations who are sound people with good morals.

I strongly disagree with the last part. Here in NZ there are many good people representing all parts of the political spectrum who have been elected. I think the difference is there is a lack of or at least not as much lobbying and donors pulling the strings as there is in the USA. PS. Just saw some really good action in a courtroom in the USA where court staff took down the father of one of Nasser's victims without even a shot being fired. Which proves it can be done, it just requires some good actions from good people.

There is also the very real concern that there were other people about and knowing inaccuracy of most users there would have been hurt people. This episode was handled beautifully without anyone getting hurt and no thought of a rule which many people think is not good.

But back to Moore. I seem to recollect that you said you would vote for him as well. Why would you do that?

The signature was still demonstrably Moore's if i am remembering correctly it was presented that ALL of it was moore's signature...otherwise why did she come out and have to come back and say that she added that data?

No it was not portrayed as that but many republicans tried to put that spin on it.

That's right as certain people were trying to say the whole thing was a fraud. A desperate attempt to discredit the woman. It was obvious to anyone with a bit of a brain that she had made an annotation. It was obvious to me from the photo of it that was on the media.
