I Can't Believe We're Losing To These Clowns

Here's Tbogg on right wing angst over Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell. Erick Erickson's so confused he criticized her for accusing Mike Castle of being gay. (As Tbogg notes, "goatfucking child molester" is still on the list of approved civil dialog, however.)
You know, with an economy like this I would always assume this would be a tough election. Midterms always are for the majority and this one in particular was always going to be a bitch. But I don't think I ever expected anyone to lose to the collection of half educated carnival clowns, throwbacks and morons the Republicans are putting up this time. It's mind-boggling. In fact, it's so bad that now even the standard issue fascists are getting a little queasy.
But they might not be able to stop this little train:
The Tea Party Express has announced a six-figure commitment to back O'Donnell. The group announced its first expenditures – more than $46,000 – late Thursday and put the anticipated cost at about $250,000.
"We are launching an aggressive multimedia and multiplatform campaign to help propel Christine O'Donnell to victory, and we've only just begun," said Amy Kremer, chairman of the Tea Party Express.
The Tea Party Express is funded by Americans For Prosperity. They have plenty of money.
