m$nbc election results:Tea Party set to win enough races for wide influence
there you go, why even vote?

:sarcasm:

Enough Tea Party-supported candidates are running strongly in competitive and Republican-leaning Congressional races that the movement stands a good chance of establishing a sizeable caucus to push its agenda in the House and the Senate, according to a New York Times analysis.
With a little more than two weeks till Election Day, 33 Tea Party-backed candidates are in tossup races or running in House districts that are solidly or leaning Republican, and 8 stand a good or better chance of winning Senate seats.

5. MSNBC's agenda must be to try and fool
as many of us as they can with their predictive garbage. They look upon us as fools who will believe anything they say because THEY ARE THE MEDIA!

3. So ...
the hardest right wing faction of a party that already votes lockstep in a hard right manner will influence what?

Sorry, their "influence" will be that of the fundamentalists ... Fire up voters to elect raging lunatics, but in the end, the party is all corporatism all the time ...

4. Note to MSNBC: That should be "effluence", not influence...
Something that flows out or forth, especially:
a. A stream flowing out of a body of water.
b. An outflow from a sewer or sewage system.
c. A discharge of liquid waste, as from a factory or nuclear plant.

7. "effluence" yes, that's all the Tea Party has to offer, and it's the
"b" and "c" definitions that apply.

We will see and SMELL the U.S. Senate and House in the next two years, and nothing but Sh*t will come out of it.

6. Shit...they wrote that headline months ago.
Even if they all lost, they would still put Teabaggers on their front page or first stories.

8. While looking at my eggs, I believe I have nothing but chickens!
I believe I will wait until they are actually hatched before I count them.

9. McConnell And Boner's Worst Nightmares...
The operative word here is "rushpublican-leaning" as these are seat that were held by moderate/establishment rushpublicans. Whatever gains the teabaggers make will be at the expense of the "establishment" that ain't gonna shine too brightly to a DeMint or Bachmann playing power broker. It's gonna make for intresting watching no matter which way the winds blow as the rifts in that corrupt and inept party are deep and are due to break into the open.
