Tea Party victory in NJ-6

by: Rosi Efthim

UPDATE: Diane Gooch has conceded. - Rosi

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Diane Gooch -  rich, connected, and blond -  was supposed to stroll easily to the GOP nomination for the chance to run against Frank Pallone in NJ-6. But Highlands Mayor Anna Little, "Tea Party-approved", had other plans and her campaign had more life, more visible signage, and way more ferocity.

And now they might have their win. politickernj is reporting that Diane Gooch - after a provisional ballot count shows her 84 votes behind - is prepared to concede.

Tea Party Dangers (0.00 / 0)
I don't know anything about that particular race, but I'm not surprised with the Tea party victory.  Their supporters are vociferous and motivated just like we were two years ago to help get Obama elected.  The press seems to dismiss the Tea Partiers as a powerless fringe group, but with their massive corporate support, we will see the rise of Tea partiers and their stealth hate group cousins.  Despite what the press reports about how good Harry Reid has it since a Tea partier won in Nevada, Mr. Reid better be prepared for a close, tough race.
