GOP regroups after Tea Party wins

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.

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.

STRIKE while the iron is hot!

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!

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Arms linked, Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell and her conservative backers kick up their heels and clap to the strains of an original song with lyrics befitting a tea party.

"Look out Washington, D.C., 'cause we are on a roll and we're rocking across this country with a message to be told."

It's a tune that's unnerving the Republican establishment in Delaware, which fears being felled by swift kicks from O'Donnell - and tea partiers.

Not long after tea party-backed Joe Miller stunned Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the Republican establishment is furiously trying to avoid a similar outcome in the Delaware primary on Tuesday. Republican leaders, top strategists and even the Delaware state GOP chairman have taken the unusual step of openly working to defeat O'Donnell and ensure the nomination of their preferred candidate, nine-term Rep. Mike Castle.

Republicans, who have an outside chance of capturing the majority in the Senate in November, see Castle as their best chance of winning the seat long held by Vice President Joe Biden. The moderate Castle is a former governor and has been the state's lone congressman since 1993.

Make no mistake my fellow TEA Party Patriots, the GOP knows we're here and they are NOT at all happy with the idea that MOST of us in the TEA Party are not going to march to their GOP drumbeat any longer.

No more posers. No more pretenders. No more RINOs! Not now, not ever.

And remember, the GOP only seeks to pacify the TEA Party, then co-opt us into their ranks once the election season is over.
