WASHINGTON — A win certified Wednesday in the Senate primary in New Hampshire for a candidate backed by the Republican establishment helped offset earlier primary election victories in Delaware and New York by Tea Party-backed insurgents.STRIKE while the iron is hot!
In New Hampshire, former attorney general Kelly Ayotte was named the winner in the Republican primary for Senate, marking a narrow victory over conservative lawyer Ovide Lamontagne, who campaigned with the support of Tea Party activists. Ayotte had the support of the Republican Party and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in her bid for the seat held by retiring GOP Sen. Judd Gregg. Ayotte will face off in November against Rep. Paul Hodes, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
In Delaware, marketing consultant Christine O'Donnell upset Rep. Mike Castle for that state's Republican Senate nomination. O'Donnell, backed by Tea Party activists and out-of-state financing, took down Castle, a centrist and popular fixture in Delaware politics who had been heavily favored to not only win the party's nomination but also to take the Senate seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden.

GOP regroups after Tea Party wins
The TEA Party is on a roll my friends. We are making waves and getting a lot of notice now, and it's not just the name calling Left that is noticing either. The TEA Party is on every major news source in America right now. And this is only the start.
We are in our infancy right now, we're not even crawling yet, God help the Dems and RINOs once we can walk and run!
TEA Party candidates are making a HUGE splash in politics right now. The TEA Party is tired of the status quo, the Good Ol’ Boys network, the wink and nod politics, the career politicians and politicians that seem to have forgotten this one indisputable fact: YOU WORK FOR US, not the other way around.
We have their attention, now we hang on to them and chew like a dog with a bone!
