WASHINGTON (AP) -- Christine O'Donnell has been defeated in her Senate bid from Delaware. But another tea party hopeful, Marco Rubio, is the winner in Florida. O'Donnell lost to Democrat Chris Coons in the battle for the seat that had been held by Vice President Joe Biden. She had been criticized for her lack of experience and spotty financial history, and was plagued by a videotape from years ago in which she said she "dabbled" in witchcraft. Rubio defeated independent Gov. Charlie Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek. New Hampshire Republican Kelly Ayotte, in her first run for office, took the Senate seat that was held by retiring Republican Judd Gregg. Republican Richard Shelby of Alabama and Democrat Barbara Mikulski in Maryland have each won a fifth Senate term. And New Hampshire Republican Gov. John Lynch has won a fourth term.

Palin takes her first hit of the night.....
Has Fox News offered her a job yet?

Palin takes her first hit of the night..... Who expected O'Donnell to win? She fared far better than any one expected. The dems are taking a beatdown and I'm enjoying every minute! Congratulations Rand Paul, tea party supporters, Sarah Palin and thinking Americans!
Freepers, sarah palin, all the Conservatives who attacked Rove and Krauthamer. She's down by 17% with about 3/4 of precincts counted, that isn't better than anyone expected.
It's much better than I expected in Biden's state.
well let's see, Biden defeated her by 29 during a Democratic wave election when she was a virtual unknown and Biden was an incumbent Senator. Now, despite Sarah Palin, all the cash, and all the fame, she loses by 17% against an unknown. You really didn't think she'd improve by more than 12%? Seriously?
she loses by 17% against an unknown. How much cash? Fame? Based on what? Unknown to you? Prior to serving as County Executive, Chris worked as an attorney for Delaware-based W.L. Gore & Associates. He was a delegate from Wilmington to the 1996 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. His first elected office was President of the New Castle County Council, elected in 2000 and serving four years before being elected County Executive in 2004. He was the endorsed candidate of the New Castle County Democratic Party in 2008, and was re-nominated by the party on September 9, 2008.Coons was re-elected on November 4, 2008, defeating Republican candidate and former New Castle County Executive Thomas P. Gordon. You really are kind of ignorant.
