The Fair Tax picked up Fortenberry in Nebraska as well!!
Did you ever get a list of how Fair Taxers did on Nov. 2nd?

Haven't been able to track that one down yet. I sent out a second message to AFFT(priority this time) to see if I can spur them into compiling a list of the results.
I know that nearly all if not all incumbants running with the FairTax were re-elected, I don't know the results of those running for office as a challenger or for the first time.
Meanwhile there was this little Novak ditty in the Union Leader chuckle:

Democratic artillery shot duds at GOP
| THE UNTOLD story from last week’s Republican victory was the ineffectiveness of the left’s attacks on right-wing reform. Democrats surprisingly did not launch a national campaign against partial privatization of Social Security. They did unlimber heavy artillery against radical changes in federal taxation but ended up shooting duds. *** Snip *** Steve Moore, the feisty free market economist who is Club for Growth’s president, concentrated on helping aggressive reformers Coburn and DeMint. Both had to wade through fierce Republican primary opposition and were not favorites of the GOP’s Washington establishment. The Oklahoma Republican power structure was aligned against Coburn, as was the House Republican leadership that did not remember him fondly from his congressional days. Speaker Dennis Hastert publicly dismissed Coburn as a probable loser in the same category as Alan Keyes, who finished 43 percentage points behind in Illinois. Rep. Brad Carson, Coburn’s supposedly moderate Democratic opponent, blistered the Republican in debates for wanting to “privatize” Social Security. But in Oklahoma as elsewhere, the major thrust by Democrats assailed Coburn for considering a 23 percent national sales tax (part of a nationally coordinated mailing the last week of the campaign). The outcome: Coburn won by the landslide proportion of 12 percentage points. In South Carolina, DeMint was as pure a free market candidate as possible in winning a seat held for 42 years by arch-protectionist Democrat Ernest F. Hollings. A free trader, DeMint fought off protectionist assaults, first in the primary and later in the general election by state Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum. But Tenenbaum, a popular Democrat in this prototypical red state, campaigned hard against the 23 percent sales tax and excited her party’s national strategists. The outcome: DeMint won by the landslide proportion of 10 percentage points. The anti-sales-tax argument was pressed against Republicans all over the country, particularly state House Republican Leader Cathy McMorris in the state of Washington and former district judges Louis Gohmert and Ted Poe, running against redistricted incumbent Democrats in Texas. All were endorsed by the Club for Growth, and all won in landslides. |
