If it were NOT for the Tea Party, the GOP would have taken the Senate.

Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell did it for the Dems. Their primary opponent would have cleaned our clocks. Yes, Lauder made a stupid statement about chickens but the polls had her beating Reid. She was more moderate and mainstream. And Castle would have won too. Those two seats (if Murry loses) would have tipped it over.

Thank you Tea Party.

2. Just as I predicted, the teabaggers were the best things the Dems had going

3. Except there is no way Murray is going to lose. Just wait till tomorrow :-)

4. Not! Without the Teabaggers, the Republicans would be home pouting!

The Teabaggers were a marketing tool to get Republicans enthused. It sort of worked. But it will create internal problems down the road.

5. But would they have taken the house without the Tea Party?

?

6. If it were not for the Tea Party

Americans might have made their decisions tonight on being educated instead of using ignorant, brainwashed gut feelings.

The Tea Party has done nothing for the Dems.

7. So, I guess the Noise Machine will be attacking the Senate nonstop for

the next two years.

[Kber]

8. Agreed 100%

If nothing else, I am enjoying telling people that the Tea Party cost the Republicans the Senate this year.
