First Turnover: GOP Picks Up Indiana Senate Seat

With just four percent of precincts reporting, Fox News is projecting that Republican Dan Coats will be victorious over Democrat Brad Ellsworth in the fight for Sen. Evan Bayh’s vacating Senate seat.

Also sailing to predicted easy wins are two tea party favorites — Rand Paul will keep Kentucky red for the GOP in an electoral win over Democrat Jack Conway and Sen. Jim DeMint reaches an easy victory over Democratic challenger Alvin Greene.

    Praise be to Aqua Buddha! :)
    Seriously though, good to know that the people of Kentucky have sense enough to elect someone who believes in the Constitution and individual liberty.
    Let’s hope he stays that way when he goes to D.C….

    I cannot believe that nut job Rand Paul actually won. I hear he wants to remove fluoride from our drinking water because it’s unconstitutional to have healthy teeth. I guess next will be backroom abortions and exorcisms on the mentally disabled.

    Why don’t you people just call for the repeal of equal rights and the constitution and declare christian theocratic marshal law.

    Tea anyone?

    I predict a good old‘ American Arse Whoopin’…. 80 house 12 senate

    It seems more like 1773 every day. American loving, hard working patriots take and take
    …eventually they say “ok, that’s enough” and they get mad.
    We are throwing the “tea” into the harbors.

    We don’t need to go around thumping our bibles ….. we do need to remember
    our Country is what it is because we are a Christian nation and that’s a fact.

    God also said Christians would be persecuted.
    .. “Satan wanders to and fro seeking whom he may devour.”
    He has infiltrated the Democratic party
    .. any good they were capable of has been swallowed by evil.

    We must remain vigilant and stand our ground. We will prevail.

    I am in a union… I voted against my own financial well being for the love of my country. I pray I made the right decision for my family and the United States.

    God bless America.

      My dad is also a life-long union worker 31 years same unions (UFCW and Carpenters local 6). He and I talked about this and it is a misconception to think dem means union they typically screw over the unions while getting there pockets stuffed with your dues. The only people in the unions that benefit from the dems is the bosses. You and your family will be okay.

      Remember Tea Party DOESN’T mean republican, Ellsworth far more encompassed Tea Party values than the life-long establishment tool Coats.

      Yep. That and apparently the voter machines are automatically picking Reid for the people.

      Unions, dead people, illegals, forged identities, rigged voting machines and let’s not leave out patients at the psychiatric hospitals that are brought in and told who to vote for.
