They're all up.

Not enough publicity on this right now... Just Ryan and a few others have gotten all the coverage.

Allen West is in trouble, and so is Batshit Bachmann.

work again...at least marginally.

But she ended up becoming part of the Tea Party once it assembled.

Losing Lois Capps would be terrible.

had to run an ad telling voters he was not a teabagger
although some would think otherwise, The necessity to make the
distinction has become that important. While this is a Blue State,
the western side can be quite red.

I think they have been the final nail in the coffin for what's
left of the repukes.

Read a comment today regarding older teabaggers, "Something to chew on: anybody who was 14 in 2008 is a voter today. Most people who were in their late 70s in 2008 are likely dead today. Which party gets the net benefit from this phenomenon?

A bit morbid and depressing if you're in your late 70's but makes you wonder about the evolving demographics.

Republicans are likely to lose a few seats, but not likely enough to lose their majority in the House.

What I don't know is how many House Republicans might have lost their primaries, so that more moderate Republicans will take their place, or vice versa. In at least some congressional districts, voters weren't happy when "jobs, jobs, jobs!" turned into anti-abortion legislation, anti-gay legislation, over 30 votes to repeal Obamacare, and general "just say NO" obstructionism. Then again, in many (most?) Republican constituencies, they eat that stuff up.

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but there may have been one or two instances where two repub districts were combined as part of redistricting and the freshsman t-bagger was pushed out by another incumbent. Even if that happened a couple of places, I doubt the winner of the primary is appreciably less conservative than the member that lost the primary.
