Yes, overall it was, but we in CT are feeling sucker-punched as Republicans lost every major race. And after getting involved with local Tea Party groups here and working hard for candidates whom we thought had a really good chance of winning, I hope you'll understand why I'm not celebrating much today. (My tagline says it all)
I really wish we could move out of CT... SOON.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
He looks more “Presidential” in that pic than our current President..
Congratualtions, Sir.....
We were watching this race closely. There wasn’t one point all night where West wasn’t up 8-9 points, yet they didn’t call till nearly 1am, EDT. They held off till the early morning hours on West’s and Rivera’s wins. Annoying as hell. But it was nice to see Grayson go down early!
Sorry about CT - it’s got to be rough... wish it had gone better for you. In Florida we did GREAT! So, just for today nutmet - I dub you an official Floridian... Share in our happiness...
Thank you so much, GOPJ! Listening to Marco Rubio speak (via taped speech) on Rush Limbaugh's show now. We LOVE Marco Rubio! He's going to turn out to be Obama's and the 'RATs worst nightmare... ;-)
We love Allen West, too! Hubby met him at CPAC last year and had an interesting conversation with him and his campaign manager. GREAT guy.
Congratulations, Florida!
Love Allen West. I pray Florida will soon be sharing him with us on a national level.
My one conservative DIL was somewhat depressed this morning by our results here in blue, blue Maryland, so I sent her a link to the youtube video of West making comments at the opening of his campaign HQ some time back. It’s the speech in which he says that the first thing he’ll say to Pelosi when he reaches DC is, “Give me the damn gavel!”
That is certainly my hope, and President Allen West is exactly what I hope will happen in the near future.
My hubby and I were delighted to be in Boca Raton to celebrate with Congressman Allen West!

Lucky! I would love to have that man represent me. What a great American! Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out later.
You're right about Marco - a nightmare or them - and a solid conservative for us... nice having you as a fellow Floridian for a Day, nutmet :)
