Last night was a phenomenal time for Republicans in general and conservatives in particular. It was also a historic night for supporters of strong border enforcement and the tea party. Here are the major highlights.
Joe Miller
- The most exciting news of the night was the probable defeat of RINO, open borders Senator Lisa Murkowski at the hands of tea party patriot Joe Miller. The votes are still being counted, but if the numbers hold we will have executed the biggest upset of the year. Next January we will have Senator Joe Miller fighting for us in Washington. He will likely join Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Sharon Angle, Ken Buck, and Ron Johnson. In addition to the proposition of picking up 7-10 D seats, look at the R seats that we have already turned more conservative.
1. Utah- Arch RINO Bob Bennett will now be replaced by stellar conservative Mike Lee.
2. Alaska- Open borders, pro abortion, big government Lisa Murkowski will be replaced by constitutional scholar Joe Miller.
3. Kansas- Although many of us would have liked to see a Senator Todd Tiahrt, we will still replace La Raza Senator Brownback with border hawk Jerry Moran.
4. Ohio- King RINO George Voinovich will be replaced with more mainstream Rob Portman.
5. Missouri- This is not the most clear cut contrast, but Roy Blunt clearly has a more conservative voting record than retiring Senator Kit Bond.
6. New Hampshire- The primary is still in progress but it is pretty clear that Kelly Ayotte will win the nomination and is favored to win the general election. Judd Gregg has voted with the Democrats on many key issues including immigration. Kelly Ayotte might not be a Jim DeMint conservative, but she at least provided an opportunity to move another seat to the right.
These are 6 seats that will move closer into our column in addition to all of the Democrat seats that we are likely to win.
