Tea bagger Republican candidate for the US Senate (Illinois) Patrick Hughes lost his primary bid in a landslide that was so large it can only be regarded as a repudiation of his reactionary, tea-bagging orientation:

Mark Kirk handily won the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate from Illinois, defeating his closest challenger Patrick Hughes by a landslide.

With 98% of precincts reporting, Kirk led with 56% of the vote to Hughes's 19%. (link)

The next time tea baggers or Tea Bagging fellow travelers "predict" that tea bagging candidates will sweep the elections in November 2010, just repeat "56 percent to 19 percent" and then laugh uproariously in their benighted faces.
