It doesn't matter much which of them won. They both ar extreme right wingers and have pandered to the Tea Partiers. But neither of them seems to be barking mad like Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell. Whichever ends up the final winner will of the Republican primary most likely will be elected.

Obama ran and was elected as President on the premise "It is time for a change" What he's proven is that change, for the sake of change, is too often misdirected. The fact still remains - it is time for a change... significant, meaningful, and most applicable to the sufferings of this country. A favorite expression... mantra of sorts "Never mistake activity for accomplishment"

Perhaps therein lies the insights to the successes of the "Tea Party"

Apparently, nobody in the Tea Party owns any stocks or has a 401K. All the stocks I owned tanked thanks to the Republicans when the DOW reached a low around 7000. Now my investments have mostly recovered along with the increase in the DOW, now around 10,500. The wingers were blaming the stock market crash on Obama even before he was sworn in. So now he should be given the credit for its recovery.

Maybe the Tea Partiers don't like to talk about tje markets' recovery because they've never owned any stocks. And here I thought they were all capitalists.

I cannot find a poll of the open New Hampshire U.S. Senate seat that doesn't have Kelly Ayotte leading Paul Hodes (D) for the open U.S. Senate seat.

The Pollster.com average has Kelly Ayotte up by 9 points; the RealClearPolitics average has Ayotte up by 8 points.

By the way...Sarah Palin endorsed Kelly Ayotte.

Time to start salivating, Pavlovian First Readers.

Lol!

    Those who think electing radicals is what is needed now will be responsible for the devastating results of turning the running of the asylum over to the inmates. Putting people in charge of the government who have no concept of how our system works and who don't believe in government, will result in the collapse of the system. And how much do you want to bet after they destroy it, they'll blame it all on Obama?
