Republican Mark Amodei won the Congressional election yesterday in Nevada by 20 POINTS.
It was NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Amodei won by more than 20 points in a referendum on Barack Obama’s failed policies.
Reuters reported:
Nevada Republican Mark Amodei easily won a special election on Tuesday to fill a vacant House of Representatives seat in a largely rural district that has never sent a Democrat to Congress.
With 95 percent of precincts counted, Amodei had collected over 57 percent of votes compared to 36 percent for Democratic state Treasurer Kate Marshall, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office. Other candidates garnered the remaining votes.
“THANK YOU NEVADA!” Amodei posted on his twitter account as the votes rolled in and showed him with a near 20 point lead.
Amodei will replace Republican Dean Heller, who was named to the Senate to take over for John Ensign. Ensign resigned his seat earlier this year after admitting to an extramarital affair with a campaign staffer.
“With their support of Mark Amodei, the people of Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District have chosen the principles of common sense, Nevada values, and prosperity,” Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian said in a statement.

I already her her comment.
She said it was a problem of getting the message out.
Gary commented:
This just confirms it.
Reid’s son couldn’t get elected governor.
This seat goes Republican.
Yet Harry Reid gets a sudden upsurge of latino voters that reverse what the polls showed as a losing race for at least two months leading up to the last election.

I love the smell of the repudiation of Obama and his corruptocrats in the morning!

This is what 2012 is going to look like. The Democrat brand has been damaged by
Obama, Pelosi, and Reid and others. Socialism is NOT an American value.
The TPM is strong and America is very angry at the current (leaderless leader).
This is just another shock wave. Current rumblings from the DNC are that the Dem’s
are trying to distance themselves from the current administration.
powder is dry

Is this the first fruits of the Obama repudiation?

First there was the election of Scott Brown in MA., then the tidal wave in 2010, followed by the failed recall attempt in Wisc. and the wave continues today in NY & NV. Conservatism wins almost every time if the message is clear.
Spider commented:
Congratulations, Mark.
I look forward to you advancing a low tax, reduced regulation, small government agenda.

The TPsunami is rolling across the landscape and will reach full height in November of 2012.
THEN we can look forward to America getting back on its feet.
lemonaide commented:
Ramp up the fraud alert for 2012. Dems will be going back several (dead) generations for voters, and paying anyone else that has a pulse. Panthers will “secure” the polls. We Hobbit SOB’s will have to remain vigilant or the election will be stolen.

COOL! GREAT with Harry Reid’s First Cup of Coffee this morning – 20 Point Spread!

Just a couple of quick shout out to our friends across the aisle.
Hey Bitrme Joe, the Barbarians where at the gates last night, and guess what they where unlocked.
Jimmy H, that magnificent army you promised WTF, well it seems they may be smarter than their General.
Last and most assuredly least, WTF snide smirks and eye rolling at Flag ceremonies have consequences. PS Americans have never been big fans of Socialism no matter what your Ivy League drill instructors told you.
daryl commented:
It’s a good start but one little dim turd down the drain does not a successfull flush make.
Until that huge one circling the bowl goes down and out of site I’m not holding my breath. Even if we can flush him down the drain there’s still the septic tank to consider. It might need pumping out too.
I can’t stand the thought of Carter and obama both with hammers and in nail aprons for Habitat for Humanity photo ops for the next umpteen years.
dunce commented:
If they had listened to the tea party over ayear ago our problems would be on the mend. They refused to listen and insteaded lectured, criticized, and pushed more far left failing crap. The fools think that because the tea party people are not in DC that they are fading away. The backlash has instead quietly grown as fear has grown about our and the worlds economy. Even people who had little interest in our foreign affairs can see that with the arab spring and every other thing that without american leadership, the world is spinning out of control.

I can see 2012 from my window !!
Go Tea Party !!

I missed all of this last night. I was helping the wife with her homework. College math is a b!+ch. Like I said in another thread on GP: REVELATIONS OF THINGS TO COME. I didn’t see any of this on my local news this morning, go figure. The LSM is trying to keep it quiet. Thank god for the alternative media right? PERRY 2012!

#28 You are exactly right about NOT including Las Vegas. I have lived in rural Nevada for over 40 years and have run for office twice. The people are very fiscally conservative, love their 2nd amendment and have had to live with the boom & bust economy of mining & ranching for 250 years. They also catagorically absolutely cannot stand Reid. The only reason Reid won is union & ACORN votes in now nearly defunct LV. Reid’s son ran for governor in 2010 and was beat by now governor (Hispanic) Sandoval by nearly as many points as was the dem yesterday. The uptick in votes for Amodei (who is borderline RINO) gives an indication of how much the state has suffered under Odummer & Reid… STILL the highest unemployment in the country, highest bankruptcies, and highest foreclosures.
People all over America will only put up with the BS put out by the loony left for so long before retaliating!
Craig commented:
Republicans will win in a landslide all over the country. Obama/Soetoro and his goons have to go.
But it’s not enough to replace Dems with Republicans, you have to make sure the Republican is also a conservative and not a RHINO.
I’ve checked Bob Turner on the web and there are a few things that you should be worried about:
- “Bob Turner turned down Tea Party support and offers to help during his special election campaign”.
Hum… now why would that be? He doesn’t want to be associated to the Tea Party? And why not?
- “Turner signed the Grover Norquist pledge of “no new taxes under any circumstances” in 2010, but in his 2011 campaign he has said that revenues can be increased through closing tax loopholes.”
Hum… flip flopping already?
-” He also supports raising the eligibility age for Social Security.[33] Turner has expressed a need to change Social Security, suggesting that the minimum age for eligibility should be increased.[35][36]”
Hum… do you really approve this?
- “On health care, Turner has stated that he supports neither the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, nor Republican Congressman Paul Ryan’s plan of privatizing Medicare by giving seniors vouchers to purchase private health insurance.[40]
Hum… so what is his plan?
- Turner was President of Multimedia Entertainment, a division of media conglomerate Multimedia, Inc. In 1984, Turner co-founded and ran Orbis Communications. Director of Advertising for Bristol-Myers Company.First General Manager of CBS Cable.
Hum… this guy is really with the big corporations, including the paharmaceutical and the MSM. That would scare me.

Gee it almost looks like Reid must have cheated to win in 2010 -just stating the obvious-
