How then do you explain the almost across the board repudiation of the teabaggers then? Looks like the real winners tonight are the moderates....
Whaaaa?
How in the world are you suggesting this?
Mike Lee won by 30% in utah in the senate.
Rand Paul won by 10% in kentucky in the senate.
Tim Scott in SC's race for a house seat won by almost 40%
Nikki Haley won the SC governor race by 4%
Maine hasn't been called yet but LePaige is currently winning in the Governor race.
Jesse Kelly is down in the house race in Arizona but its too close to call at the moment
Ken Buck is down by .4% with still 13% left to report and the race is too close to call
Marco Rubio won by 20% over a former republican indepdendent and almost 30 over the democrat in the senate.
Ron Johnson won by almost 5% over a long time and well known member of the senate in Fiengold.
Your big losses so far is Angle, Miller, and O'Donnell. O'Donnell wasn't exactly expected by most reasonable observers, including the reasonable oens in the tea party, to take the seat. And Miller essentially lost to a Republican.
I know this may come as a stunning shock to you Disney, but just because the media and democrats were obsessed with Angle and O'Donnell and tried DESPERATELY to make them the face and singular focus of what the tea party is because they were the best fodder for attacking them to create ratings and/or political advantages, doesn't actually make them the whole of the Tea Party let alone the main ones.
Johnson, Rubio, and Paul into the senate are all big ones. LePaige and Haley (and while not as much Tea Paryt specifically backed, Martinez in NM as well) are big ones in governor seats.
To suggest there was an "across the board repudiation" is nothing but an incredibly ignorant comment and I suggest you actually look at the results and educate yourself on it before speaking on it again.
