Tonight was just dreadful. All types of Republicans feel from Santorum to Chafee. Both "right wingers" and RINOs had their share of the blame for tonight's bloodbath.
Yep.
The road back to majority status is gonna be ugly.
Here in Minnesota, the GOP lost control of the state house of representatives. We'd held it since '98.
We lost our GOP state auditor and secretary of state.
Gil Gutknecht, our 1st District member of Congress since '94, got ousted tonight by a freakin' nobody!
Tim Pawlenty will likely hold on to the governors office by the skin of his teeth - and had his opponent not committed a major gaffe last week, Pawlenty probably would have lost.
The only positive note from this evening? We held on to the 6th District seat vacated by Mark Kennedy. Michele Bachmann won it.
All in all, not good. Not good at all.
