Tea Party Blow Out, Who Would Of Thought

NBC: Mourdock Beats Lugar in Indiana; Updated: Blowout | Conservatives4Palin

I guess all that talk about the demise of the Tea Party and, ahem, Governor Palin’s irrelevance was just that: Talk. That and a healthy dose of wishful thinking on the part of the DC Establishment.

Update: With 55% of the votes in, Mourdock is “clinging” to a 20 point lead.  My heart bleeds for the Peggy Noonans and Dana Milbanks of the world. Just a few weeks ago a Mourdock victory was considered, at best, highly unlikley.  But a blowout like this was considered beyond the realm of possibility. Not anymore.

I thought the Tea Party didn't exist? Surprise surprise surprise!
