The Tea Party and the 2010 Elections

Fox News: Reports that Christine O'Donnell has won the Republican nomination to be the Republican Candidate for the Senate Seat vacated by VP Biden. The question that is still up in the air is the Tea Party movement a help or a hazard to the Republican Party in the long term, the result in Delaware shows that it might be a major hazard, in essence the Republicans have thrown away a Senate seat that was in the bank, it can be argued that Ms O’ Donnell might just win in Delaware but this blog would not bet the house on that result. Thus it can be postulated at this early stage that the Democrats will keep the Senate, the House is a different matter, still odds on that the Republicans will take the House and be even with the Democrats in the Senate, the Republican Establishment has to make a deal with the tea party, it has to be one and win, otherwise the Democrats will win by default, a divided vote.
