Senator-elect Manchin Asserts His Independence
Charleston, WV -- Democrats in West Virginia and Washington celebrated Governor Joe Manchin's Senate victory, which assures the party will hold on to the seat of the late Senator Robert Byrd. However, Manchin made it clear that if Senate Democrats are looking for someone to tow the party line, they've found the wrong man. "If there's a different direction that somebody wants me to go because it's their agenda and not West Virginia's agenda, it's not what I'll do," Manchin said at a late afternoo...

It's the curse of the Mama Grizzly.
By Amanda Marcotte Posted Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2010, at 2:16 PM ET Read Slate's complete coverage of the 2010 Midterm Elections. Sharron AngleSharron Angle had all the breaks that should have allowed her to take the Senate seat in Nevada. She was running against a wildly unpopular Incumbent in a state that leads the nation in Unemployment. She raised and spent a record amount of money for a Senate race. She ran a race-baiting campaign in a style that almost always works for Republicans. She had t...

Sarah Palin's Midterm Scorecard: A Winning Record, but Some Key Losses
Sarah Palin came out a big winner in terms of raw numbers Tuesday, but saw four of her key endorsees take prominent losses in the Midterm Elections. The former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice Presidential nominee offered her star power -- and the occasional Campaign contribution or Robocall -- to more than 100 conservative Candidates during the primary and General Elections. A Politics Daily tally puts Palin's Tuesday successes at 62 wins, 23 losses and seven contests that are still to...

Tuesday's election a missed opportunity for Republicans
The GOP may have triumphed in the House, but they failed to capture the Senate, and now they're playing the blame game. "Candidates matter," said South Carolina's senior Senator, Lindsey Graham . "It was a good night for Republicans but it could have been a better one. We left some on the table." Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott agreed: "We did not nominate our strongest Candidates." He said if Republicans had nominated establishment candidates Mike Castle , Sue Lowden and Jane Norton in...

Bill Raggio , who stepped down from the top GOP leadership position in the State Legislature, a position he held for more than 30 years. Mr. Raggio was one of several prominent Republicans in Nevada who crossed party lines to support Mr. Reid over Ms. Angle, a former Nevada assemblywoman who had long been considered a conservati...

Despite Mixed Record, Palin Declares Victory
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is, as usual, making waves with her Facebook page on Thursday, posting a web video that declares victory for the Candidates she endorsed this fall. From a macro and shallow perspective, Palin had a strong record this year. She endorsed 64 Candidates and, at this point, half have won (five races with Palin-backed Republicans are still Undecided). But a closer look at the video and Palin's actual Campaign schedule in the closing weeks of the Campaign undercuts those...

Moving Forward: The Lessons For The Tea Party Movement
Here’s a question for you: Why did Tea Party Candidates Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ron Johnson win and why did Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell and (possibly) Joe Miller lose? The answer is very simple: it’s all about the messenger. The lesson for the Tea Party is that their common sense message can work if it is articulated well and they run Candidates who don’t have major flaws. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul won because they were able to convey the Tea Party message to Independents i

Roll Calls Morton Kondracke On Sarah Palin: Shes A Joke Within Her Own Party
Morton Kondracke is the Executive Editor and columnist for the non-partisan Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call and recently spoke during a Election analysis that appeared on CSPAN. Oh, he also believes that, apart form Pelosi and Obama, the people who were hit hardest in the Midterm Elections were…wait for it… Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin . Of course! Politico’s On Media blog sums up: At the Roll Call/CQ Election analysis session at the Ronald Reagan Building this morning, Roll C...

Sarah Palins A Joke Says Kondracke; Jim DeMint Got Slapped Around
You just have to love this narrative being put forth by the left and the Republican establishment that somehow the Republicans failed on Tuesday night. Even better is the flawed narrative that the Tea Party is to blame. Mort Kondracke, a joke himself, called Sarah Palin a joke in a Conference Call and said that she and Jim DeMint were to blame for Republican failure to capture the Senate. Here’s the wizard Kondracke’s analysis of what took place on Tuesday: “The people who got slapped the

Did Palin hurt repeal of ObamaCare?
While Sarah Palin is largely responsible for setting the welcome example that encouraged so many Republican women to run for political office this year, there is a downside to her role in the Midterm Elections, too. The role she played in Christine O'Donnell defeating Mike Castle in Delaware for the GOP Senate nomination, and similarly with Sharron Angle in Nevada (and the possible/likely residual effect in Colorado and perhaps Washington State), will make it difficult, perhaps even impossibl...

Alaska rival's rebuke curdles Sarah Palins Tea Party triumph

Tea Party Influence in 2010 Midterm Elections (associatedcontent)
The performance of the Tea Party in the 2010 Midterm Elections proves that when the people are fed up, their voices will be heard. Two races in particular demonstrate this point. The first is the race between Harry Reid, Incumbent in Nevada, and challenger Sharron Angle. While pundits around the country will simply state that Sharron Angle cost the GOP a Senate seat, a closer examination should occur. Harry Reid was Senate Majority Leader, and has been a senator since 1986. In addition to this...

Great, great news: Pelosi might stay on as House minority leader
You didn’t think the thirst for power would fade overnight, did you? Why, she reminds me of Lisa Murkowski, except - I was going to say, “except more obnoxious.” But you know, at this point, I’m really not sure. High-level Democratic sources in the House tell ABC News Pelosi is seriously considering staying in Congress and running for the position of Minority Leader. Pelosi is methodically calling every Democratic House member who won on Tuesday, as well as many w...

Democrat Mike Oliverio called Republican David McKinley Wednesday and congratulated him on his apparent Election victory. The two were thought to be just more than 700 votes apart in the race for 1st District Congress Wednesday morning, but Secretary of State Natalie Tennant says the vote difference is actually 1,357.

Mama Grizzly Watch
One of the side-stories of this election will be how well Sarah Palin's adopted "Mama Grizzlies"—female Conservatives—are doing. So far, it's a mixed result. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire (who seems, well, a bit tame for Palin, but she did get her Endorsement before her primary) won big. Christine O'Donnell lost big. Most interestingly, the Candidate who first convinced the world that Palin had the golden touch, South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidate Nikki Haley, is strugg...

Palin's 'Mama Grizzly' governors win
All three of Sarah Palin’s “Mama Grizzlies” won their gubernatorial races: Susana Martinez (R-NM), Mary Fallin (R-OK), and Nikki Haley (R-SC). These females also make history of their own — each becoming the first female Governor of their state. And, the victories by Martinez and Haley mark the first female Governors of color in the nation. Martinez is Hispanic and Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants. A record number of women (10) are their party’s nominee fo...
