Republicans are fired up and ready to go, and that’s producing some surprising election results, including the possible defeat of Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, who would be the third sitting U.S. Senator ousted by their own party this year.
The sound you hear is the soft weeping of writers in newsrooms across the land looking for a way to describe Tuesday’s primary election results. The establishment strikes back? John McCain did win really big in Arizona over Tea Party steamer J.D. Hayworth and Kendrick Meek crushed Jeff Greene for the Democratic Senate nomination in Florida. But wait, Murkowski may be headed to a loss in Alaska at the hands of a Tea Party Palinisto, Joe Miller. And well-funded outsider Rick Scott soundly defeated Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum for the GOP gubernatorial nod. What’s a hack to do?

Here’s hoping we can retire Snowe and Collins in 2012 and 2014.
Joe Miller’s win will make the entire night worthwhile.
He’ll give the US Senate some genuine class and integrity.
I am also very pleased with Allen West’s victory.
McCain won... but only with 57% of the vote, Brewer got 87%
