TAKE THAT TEAM O’DONNELL!! Hube Reluctantly Endorses Mike Castle
So, what if O’Donnell is raking in endorsements from wingnuts across the country. Mike Castle can lord this heavy hearted endorsement over the O’Donnellites
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D DO THIS…No, I’m not referring to my return to blogging…. I’m actually referring to my decision to support Mike Castle in his campaign for Senate.
PS. I know this was written by Paul Smith, but I can’t pass on a chance to press Hube’s buttons.
I’ve been thinking of a name that personifies O’Donnell’s followers, a name that succinctly wraps them up in a neat little package and belittles them at the same time. The name I’ve come up with is Starburst Boys. You like?
It is pretty good, better than my weak attempt “O’Donnellites” But I don’t think I have that font at my disposal.
Just Starbust Boys . . . no font, though Comic Sans it would be.
Please…let me help..the O’DonnelLiners. I think it says a lot.
Howzabout the Christine Crazies? Slogan: “We’re crazy for Christine”.
Cue a pic of a buncha drooling blogger fanboys gazing at a suggestive picture of their favorite full-figured candidate.
Jon Walker just did a nice analysis for us over at FDL. Conclusion: conservatives should definately vote for Christine cause she’ll vote conservatively. So sneaky, these progressives.

Nancy, Thanks for that link. The expected value calculation was in itself valuable, but that was just the beginning.
I think most conservatives have internalized this in a way that liberals have not:
I don’t know I think there numbers are pretty off. Castle’s a 90% conservative as opposed to a 50% one. That skews the math way back to Castle.
The wingnuts don’t know that.
WTF? That’s not calculus, that’s voodoo analysis. O’Donnell’s chances in the general election are very, very close to 0. Vanishingly close to 0. That whole piece represents a waste of electrons and 3 minutes I’ll never get back.
I think you missed the point. It is an argument for why liberals should vote for liberals cloaked in an argument for why conservatives should vote for O’Donnell. The numbers were for demonstration purposed only. A little introduction to “expected value.”
If that’s the case, then liberals should NOT vote for liberals whose chances of winning the general election approach that close to 0. Sorry, but it’s still a gigantic waste of effort.
