Steve Lonegan last month: My victory will be a referendum on the Obama Agenda

In recent weeks, as he was rising in the polls, Steve Lonegan, the Republican candidate for Senate in New Jersey, was telling anyone who would listen that his campaign was "an all-out referendum on everything (President) Obama is doing to the country."

As he told Bryan Fischer last month, if he could defeat Democratic candidate Cory Booker, it "would be the shot heard around the world" that would repudiate President Obama's entire agenda and catapult the Tea Party into the stratosphere.

Last night, Lonegan lost his race by a margin of 55-44.
