Barone ~ Too many tea party “wackos, weirdos and witches” cost us Senate seats

Conservative political analyst Michael Barone ... a right-wing wacko himself .... told an audience in Washington that Republicans put too many tea party “wackos, weirdos and witches” on the ballot this year, costing them seats in the U.S. Senate.

“Twenty-three Democratic seats up, only ten Republican seats up — it looked like a sure chance for Republican gains and a good possibility of gaining four seats that would give them the majority leadership even if Barack Obama was re-elected,” Barone explained during a speech at Hillsdale College’s Kirby Center near Capitol Hill on Friday.

Allen West still won’t concede

Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., refused to concede his reelection battle on Saturday, despite the latest tally of votes that show his opponent pulling ahead of the margin needed for an automatic recount.

Florida’s unofficial tally from Saturday shows Democrat Patrick Murphy ahead by 2,442 votes, 50.4 percent. State law mandates that those numbers be used to make a decision on a recount, despite a number of absentee ballots that still haven’t been counted.

Murphy declared victory early Wednesday morning and has held his lead ever since, even as thousands of absentee and provisional ballots were processed. He issued a statement Saturday saying it was time to put the campaign behind. He called his win a signal that voters were tired of the extremism West represented.

West’s campaign insists there are many unanswered questions in the race, mostly centered in St. Lucie County, the only one of three counties in the district that Murphy won. They are concerned that votes were counted twice and have asked to review sign-in books from the polls to ensure the number of voters matched the ballot count.

“We’re simply not going to just walk away from the race until we see that the numbers add up,” West’s campaign manager Tim Edson told the AP.
