[Tennessean4Bush]

I am so proud of my fellow Tennesseans who made sure that Lincoln Davis' shameful ad against Scott DesJarlais backfired in a huge way. We kicked it up and down the ballot.

[Senator Goldwater]

The Tennessee Waltz.

[chilepup]

Amen from TN-5. Way to go!

[fieldmarshaldj]

The local Nashville reports stated we gained 12 in the House (to 63).

[goldstategop]

Beautiful music... I wonder if the Alabama statehouse flipped GOP. North Carolina did!

[Psalm 144]

You have the right to be proud of Tennessee!

[wardaddy]

wow...the state will finally start to resemble itself at the Statehouse

only the lib havens of Nashville and Memphis as the last refuge

[fieldmarshaldj]

AL State Senate flipped, I don’t know about the House.

[goldstategop]

Cool. If the AL House does flip, every southern state but AR and KY will have GOP state majorities.

[Baladas]

Carve your state. Carve it with more care than you’d carve a Thanksgiving Day turkey. Carve it well.

[fieldmarshaldj]

KY’s State Senate is Republican. LA still technically has a Democrat majority (but the Governor chooses the House Speaker and Senate Leader, the Speaker is Republican). MS also still has a Dem leg. majority, too. VA has a Dem State Senate.

Ooooooooooh, to have been a fly on the wall at Davis’s party tonight! Don’cha know that was a glum gathering? LOL!

And the 39th District booted George Fraley out, another dem I’m glad to see out of the picture. Like Davis, he put out some full-of-lies attack ads and letters about David Alexander and I wonder if that is what helped defeat him. I think people are tired of that strategy.

I’m on Cloud 9! Two jerks were ousted by two good men. Those men have their work cut out for them but they’ll work hard and do their best for their constituents.

[BrianE]

Congrats! we are also very happy in WI tonite.

[Talf]

good job

[Semper Mark]

"I am so proud of my fellow Tennesseans..."

Same here.

Good job, Tennessee!

[KC_Conspirator]

I did see results here that TN dems, those posers, were wiped out.

[Semper Mark]

Heck yeah! :)

As wardaddy said:

"...the state will finally start to resemble itself at the Statehouse"

[chilltherats]

Yeah, CD4 was especially sweet.

[SharpRightTurn]

A good night in Tennessee.

Now, to put the heat on Corker to man up or be run over by the Tea Party freight train in two years.

And then the even bigger CINO, Alexander, two years after that.

[snowsislander]

Wonderful results in Tennessee.

Now let's see if we can move constitutional carry through the state house, since the new governor apparently is willing to sign a bill.
