The Tea Party and Control of the U.S. Senate

As I watched the election results come in last night I listened to the pundits on CNN as they tried to say that the Tea Party cost the GOP a tie or even control of the U.S. Senate. This is a ridiculous argument! Though this may have applied in the Senate races in Nevada and Delaware, it was the Tea Party enthusiasm across the nation that bolstered GOP turnout in the other 6-8 Senate seats won last night or that are still "too close to call" today. Without the tea party energy the GOP likely would have lost many of the close Senate races last night.
