1. Lugar, a confirmed RINO, lost to Tea Party candidate Mourdock. The money quote from Philip Klein:
"Any elected Republican that doesn’t pursue a small government agenda once in office risks suffering the same fate as Lugar. Had Lugar hung on, then a lot of people would have dismissed the Tea Party as a passing fad from 2010. But now it’s clear that the movement has been underestimated once again. Tea Partiers have a lot more staying power than skeptics expected."
2. Governor Walker of Wisconsin, facing a union sponsored recall election, received massive GOP voter support in the recall primary. Money quote:
"Walker’s banked considerably more votes than Barrett and Falk [Democrat Governor primary candidates] combined. Message sent."
3. In West Virgina's primary, Obama is running 60/40 against Keith Judd.....a Federal inmate, prisoner #11593-051. Money quote:
"I think we can go ahead and put West Virginia in the Romney column for November"4. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) refuses to say whether he voted for Obama in the Democratic primary in West Virginia. No money quote, just this thought: Obama is toxic, isn't he?
