Election Updates: Rubio Wins, Grayson Loses, Nikki Haley Wins, Feingold Loses, West Wins, Ellmers Wins

Final thoughts:

With 60+ losses for the Democratic party in the House and 6+ losses for the Dems in the Senate, I'd say it was a pretty good night for Obama's enemies. However...

The MSM and milquetoast Republicans would like to blame the Tea Party movement for the GOP's failure to reclaim the Senate (as if the GOP ever had a good chance). Reminder: In the 2006 and 2008 elections, the GOP lost control of the House, the Senate and the White House without any help from the Tea Party. Last night, in the wake of the lightning speed of the Tea Party movement's influence, the GOP made respectable gains in the Senate and bounced all the way back from its cumulative four-year losses in the House ― and yet somehow we're supposed to believe the Tea Party is getting in the way?

Taking the past decade into consideration, the Republican Party really has no business blaming anyone other than itself for its current problems.

Update: The conservative movement is back & growing

BTW, this was the biggest midterm "wave election" since 1938! This was a tsunami.

TBF Congratulates Patricia Sullivan!

For much of this week, I was wondering what we would do if our TBF poll ended with a tie. Patricia Sullivan and John Faulk were literally deadlocked almost every time I peeked at the poll results.

Making it even more interesting, Sullivan and Faulk made an intriguing deal. Now I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Faulk in one of Patricia's tee shirts!

Sullivan and Faulk both worked very hard for your vote, and I want to thank both of them for their good-natured rivalry. I wish them both the best of luck in their quest to unseat two of the most vile leftists in Congress.

In the final hours of this week's poll, Patrica Sullivan pulled ahead for the victory, so now we focus our attention on her. If Sullivan wins the primary election on August 24, she will go on to face the loathsome Alan Grayson in November. If Sullivan is to succeed, she will certainly need your love, support, and appreciation, but she will also need some cold hard cash.

"But RightKlik," you exclaim, "I don't live in Sullivan's district, and I'm not really keen on this idea of giving up a portion of my walkin' around money for conservative candidates." Well, Maggie has a few words for you.

Please give generously to Patricia Sullivan so she can go on with her noble work. I want to hear about some big numbers from Patricia's people next week!
