[The Tea Party movement’s influence on the midterms is] amazing and October 2010
unprecedented. We’ve never seen such political activism from the Right
before . . . Republicans pay less attention to their candidates in office [than
Democrats. The Tea Party, however, is] a group of vigilant political observers
from the right who will ensure that Republicans stick to conservative
principles.
Democrats will likely lose a large number of seats. This

is the most dissatisfaction we’ve seen with a President
assistant professor of history for a long time, probably since Carter. It’s not good for
Democrats and it’s not good for Obama.
Truly conservative principles would take the nation back to the vision
of the Founders: that of self-governing individuals living under the
rule of law whose design is to protect property rights rather than
transfer wealth to certain selected interests.

I think that Republicans will gain control of the United States House. I think
they’ll gain five Senate seats. In Michigan, I believe they’ll win the governor’s
race, probably the Attorney General’s race . . . I think Tim Walberg’s going to win
the congressional race in our district here. Michigan Republicans will also likely
retain the Senate and have a good chance of winning the state House.
