		<description><![CDATA[This is insanity for the GOP to be gloating in the primaries when they are defending some of these seats by getting Dem voters to cross over to vote for their guy/gal. The problem is that those voters will go back to vote for their Dem candidate in the general. 

The most glaring example of that is the Cantor race where Cantor couldn&#039;t even secure the chairmanship of his own district&#039;s Republican Committee for his right hand man. The only way Cantor can win is in the primary where having no Dem candidate running, the Dems will come out to vote for him instead Tea Party opponent Brat. 

There is no better example of a Republican getting elected by Democrats than that race. I suspect that Cantor cut a deal with the Dems where he would endorse McAuliffe over Cuccinelli in exchange for the Dems allowing him to run unopposed for his own seat. I wonder how many such deals were cut by these Obama Republicans?]]></description>

You&#039;ve merely recited the non-TP groups who wipe themselves in TP grease for him and added Freedom works, which is not a Tea Party group. 

Repeat, he said: &quot;The TP groups have mostly been shown to be scams.&quot;

I am asking him to name some of these criminal TP groups and/or people. He couldn&#039;t know such a thing without knowing names, but no. 

Relax, we all know he can&#039;t and won&#039;t do it and also just why that is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a long time incumbent who is also minority leader in the senate, McConnell winning his primary is hardly an achievement, especially against an unknown, TP-er or not.

Let&#039;s see if he&#039;s as cocky against Grimes. McConnell knows that if the GOP doesn&#039;t retake the senate or loses a few house seats, there&#039;ll be genuine challenges to GOP leadership in both houses. 

If the 2014 midterms bring anything less than another wave, doubts about GOP leadership will soar ahead of 2016. This is how their record would look:

2010 - GOP wins big because of Tea Party connection.

2012 - GOP marginalizes Tea Party connection, loses big.

2014 - GOP openly attacked Tea Partiers, doesn&#039;t get senate, wins (or loses) a couple seats in the house.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Notes from Oregon

1) Jason Conger was a really scary Establishment Republican. We had two possible Tea Party Candidates but they could not raise funds if funds hit them in the face. Monica Wehby is not perfect but she wont destroy this nation like Conger would. She could even help move us to the right.

2) Governors race had two good Conservatives and a moderate Conservative, the moderate had name recognition, funds, and more... he won

3) The real gem was local races. We lost 2 Tea Party races, but we won 8. A libertarian 2A guy wiped an establishment junky also.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll agree that these results don&#039;t mean much for the &quot;fate&quot; of the Tea Party.  In three cycles, only two incumbents have been successfully &quot;primaried&quot;: Murkowski, whose Tea Party opponent was so inept at mending fences that she ran as a write in and beat him, and Lugar, who acted insulted he was being challenged and practically begged voters to unseat him.

That&#039;s it.

Oh, there have been some other memorable TP candidates who have lost winnable seats, but they didn&#039;t beat incumbents.  So these results are close to average, not a &quot;death knell.&quot;

The biggest problem is you will note the big &quot;outside money&quot; for the TP candidates is coming from SCF and CFG, which aren&#039;t really TP groups.  The TP groups have mostly been shown to be scams.  They spend &lt;5% of their revenue on campaigns, issues, and advertising other than fundraising, most of the money goes to salaries (many to friends and family) and to cover offices, travel, and accommodations.

So if you gave money to any of those groups, you are a sucker.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll agree that these results don&#8217;t mean much for the &#8220;fate&#8221; of the Tea Party.  In three cycles, only two incumbents have been successfully &#8220;primaried&#8221;: Murkowski, whose Tea Party opponent was so inept at mending fences that she ran as a write in and beat him, and Lugar, who acted insulted he was being challenged and practically begged voters to unseat him.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>Oh, there have been some other memorable TP candidates who have lost winnable seats, but they didn&#8217;t beat incumbents.  So these results are close to average, not a &#8220;death knell.&#8221;</p>
<p>The biggest problem is you will note the big &#8220;outside money&#8221; for the TP candidates is coming from SCF and CFG, which aren&#8217;t really TP groups.  The TP groups have mostly been shown to be scams.  They spend &lt;5% of their revenue on campaigns, issues, and advertising other than fundraising, most of the money goes to salaries (many to friends and family) and to cover offices, travel, and accommodations.</p>
<p>So if you gave money to any of those groups, you are a sucker.</p>
