Ever since I saw on Chrissy’s show, I have been facinated with this woman. She enthuses much like Sarah. THESE are the types we need in our corner.

Yessssssssss!!! At least one of the candidates we sent $$ to support won tonight. Still waiting for Norm Coleman...

[SoDak]

Well thank heaven for at least this. Michele Bachmann is a true conservative. I’ll take the bright spots where I can find them.

Elwyn Tinklenberg

Was she running against a friggin' Hobbit?? Elwyn Tinklenberg??

LOL! Thanks for that. That's seriously the ONLY laugh I've had this long night... ;-)

[EDINVA]

Thank goodness!

[SeafoodGumbo]

I’m glad if I could give one smile on this most dismal of days. :)

AMEN! No more mealy-mouthed, spineless milquetoast Republicans who refuse to fight back... Are you listening, GOP?

[Sir_Humphrey]

Let that be a lesson to you spineless GOP! Man, we need a flushing of the GOP something bad

Agree 100%! But I am a realist, it will take years to poop the RINOs out of the system

[nutmeg]

:o)

WOW!

First piece of good news tonight.

Good for her. And I hope her lesson was learned. DONT GO ON MSNBC!

[Left2Right]

At least there is some good news tonight. Bachmann is awesome! So are Mitch McConnell & Patrick McHenry, who also retained their seats!

Unfortunately, Allen West lost his race against Ron Klein, but West did get a very respectable 45% of the vote even though Klein is an incumbent and outspent him by 10 to 1! Not bad for his first time! Go West!

Allen West Results

Bachman ‘12.

Couldn’t hurt.

She looks absolutely gorgeous in that picture. I’m so glad she got reelected. I guess there are some sensible voters in her district and it is adjacent to the Twin Cities too. How about Palin/Bachmann 2012, the “hottest” Presidential ticket ever.

We need more peoples like Congresswomen Michele Bachmann to represent our values in Congress. For so many years; the so call moderate RINO have led to party to disaster. While I will always admire president George W Bush for the keeping our nation safe; unfortunately; he would have to share the blame for what happen to our party tonight. However; conservative will move forward. Personally; I will research on what I need to do to contribute in the conservative movement in the coming days and months.
