There was tea party victories all over the map Tuesday. The only thing the Tea Party didn’t do this cycle that they did the past two was take out a GOP incumbent Senator. Otherwise it’s equal success We got 1 in 2010 in UT, 1 in IN in 2012. This time we almost got 1 in MS, and it took disgusting racist actions to prevent it by the Barbours. We won open seats primarily in all three cycles. This time, we gained Ernst, Cotton and Sasse in Senate races. Sasse in particular was a target of the McConnell wing.

The (Tea Party) is a resolute state of mind, a spirit, that can’t, and won’t, be defeated as was witnessed in this election revolt. It was the one third of the population that 0 and the GOPe tried to minimize and 0 had his a$$ handed to him.

The GOPe is STILL marvelling at the results but are blind to the fact they had little, if anything, to do with it.

Exactly right, and most liberals don't have a clue because, since the 1960's, they haven't ever experienced a similar grassroots movement in their party (witness the OWS debacle).

This election also shows the the GOP CAN unite when the future of the nation truly depends on it.

What do you call the Republican Party without the conservative vote?

History.

Time will tell if the GOPe drops the (e) but ,I believe, this election sent a clear and unmistakable message to the moderates and ‘compromisers’ that we have given them a second bite at the apple and there won’t be another.

Consider the source.The Hill is an incubator for the Marxist Washington Post. Inane scribblers for The Hill are auditioning for positions in the Goebbels DC neo-Nazi propaganda press corps. Chuck Todd the bed-wetting wimp is one example.
