With control of the U.S. Senate up for grabs this November, a single seat may determine who has the majority. That’s why Republicans should find it disconcerting that two of their establishment lions have broken ranks and are backing Democratic candidates in competitive races.
The latest apostate is former senator John Warner of Virginia, who announced this week he is backing incumbent Democratic senator Mark Warner for reelection. He is thus giving the back of his hand to former RNC chairman Ed Gillespie, a former George W. Bush adviser, who has a decent shot at winning and is no wild-eyed radical. Last year, Warner also endorsed the Georgia candidacy of Michelle Nunn, a Democrat, who is the daughter of former senator Sam Nunn, with whom Warner served in the Senate. He even attended a fundraiser on her behalf. Georgia Republicans who find themselves defending an open Senate seat in Georgia are furious since the Warner support allows Nunn to position herself as a bipartisan moderate.

I never did like John Warner. He always seemed to be more interested in what he could get for himself instead of how he could help regular people.
They are so afaid of the tea party and will shove rinos down our thoats...WE DEMAND SMALLER GOVERNMENT WITH LESS POWER WE ARE NOT SUBJECTS
This is why the republican party cant make any headway. Warner has always been a lone wolf. The tea party should break off from these idiots.
Warner has now proved he is a POS and deserved losing his re-election bid.
They should not be reelected either....it works both ways!
They don't call them RINOs (Republican in name only) for nothing! Get them all of our party. If we are not conservative we are nothing. No one is going to vote for commie-light. Either you are fighting the communists or you are one. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.
Fighting communists 10:24? How old are you anyway? Did you vote for Joe Mccarthy?
12:11 Please look up the communist manifesto and the modern DNC platform and tell what differences there are. A rose by any other name is a rose. By the way your buddy Obozo is an avowed communist as confirmed by his buddy and co-author Bill Ayers. Obviously you are a product of the government schools. You can go back to your Xbox now.
