Politics: How the Tea Party’s beacons fared in their races tonight
- winThe biggest bellwether of the night was in Delaware, where Christine O’Donnell somehow showed lifelong GOPer Mike Castle the exit in their Senate race. The GOP isn’t backing her.
- lose? While Delaware’s Senate race went Tea Party, New Hampshire’s Senate race is still close. Kelly Ayotte is tied with Ray LaMontagne’s possible long-lost brother Ovide LaMontagne.
- winThe most surprising of the three? Rick Lazio’s gubernatorial primary loss in New York to complete frickin’ unknown Carl “gonna lose to Cuomo anyway” Paladino. source
