If I turned the offer down I would be scorned; and if I accepted, I would never do a good enough job and would probably leave in a hailstorm of criticism and media hype. I chose the least immediate pain and accepted. What would you do?

Surely you didn't believe you'd take the Senate, too. Yeah, you probably did. You couldn't possibly have thought you were making this big, beneficial difference. -__-

Everything she did purely surrounded badmouthing her opponent and much of it was falsehoods and things taken out of context. The other candidate never spoke poorly of the bad-mouther. She always focused on the issues. When reporters asked her about what her opponent was doing and if she had bad feelings toward the bad-mouther, she said no; that she felt it was a political strategy. She disagreed with it, but she wouldn't talk trash. I admired that in her and was disgusted with the behavior of the bad-mouther. But, it looks like the bad-mouther is going to win here. Very sad indeed. I'm curious to know, did you guys see the same trends in your states? Were the campaigns run on issues or on attacking the opponent? less
