Next door in NH, it was a monster GOP BLOWUP!
And this morning Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are quaking in their RINO boots... and for good reason!
Pretty sure these girls won’t stray too far from the reservation in the next two years.
in Texas, the Dems took a serious hit. The GOP now leads 99-51 in the State House. First time ever! And what with 4 new Congressional seats going to Texas, this locks in the GOP gains....
I wonder if they're planning on going back again.
Even in states like WI?
Wow.
That is a huge story, the state houses and senates!!
Maine twins? See that thing in the rear-view mirror?
Yeah...That’s us. See you in 2012.
WHOA....this IS a stunner - it will be interesting to keep tabs on the RINO twins over the next 2 years and see how well-behaved they are. They SHOULD be quaking in their boots!
Except for governor there are no state-wide elected officials at the state level. Maine does not have a Lt. Governor. All other state-wide officials such as Secretary of State, Attorney General etc. are selected by the legislature-actually the House and Senate meeting as one body. So whoever controls a majority of the combined bodies selects all those state positions.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW HAS A LARGE GROUP OF CANDIDATES TO RUN FOR HIGHER OFFICE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
I don't believe the Republicans have held both chambers of the legislature for over 30 years maybe longer. The Republicans in Maine have now recovered from Watergate!
I think the Rats took over in 1974.
Maine to Obama “Go to hell!”
By midnight LePage established a lead in the 4000-6000 vote range (tad over 1%) and that has remained constant. As far as I can tell, it’s not yet final as 64 of the 596 precincts have yet to report. However, the big Dem/Lib/Socialist enclaves have reported so it’s probably pretty certain that Paul will prevail.
I am surprised that it is this close. Paul was consistently leading his two closest opponents by 10 points but it looks like the Dem, Mitchell, lost ground to the liberal independent Cutler.
Hopefully the rest of the returns will come in shortly.
Are they more RINOs like Snowe and Collins? If so, not much to celebrate.
Has the race for gov been declared yet? From reading the piece it seems it’s still very close..

Another Stunner - GOP Takes Maine Gov, House And Senate

Time for the song played when the defeated British exited Yorktown.
“The World Turned Upside Down”
Let the redistricting begin!!!!
What a FANTASTIC night for Republicans in Tennessee!! Tennessee has gained 14 seats in the STATE House and 1 in the Senate. For the first time in history, Republicans control the House, Senate with a Republican Governor!! Congrats to all our candidates.
I’m very happy LePage defeated the that crooked, skimmy, Socialist, SOB lawyer Cutler!
Can you believe it? I have to keep checking to make sure it wasn’t just a dream. WhoDaThunkit
The Maine congressscum won reelection.
But on the state level LePage pulled it off, a Conservative Governor in Maine. And BOTH houses of the leg! Very nice.
