Barbara Boxer Got More Votes than Ten Tea Party Senate Candidates Combined

[spanone]

California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer defeated challenger Carly Fiorina by a ten-point margin on Tuesday, winning a total of 3.7 million votes, more than the combined vote total of ten Tea Party senate candidates.

The Tea Party Senate candidates made big news, but they ran mostly in small states. Also, several lost.

Christine O’Donnell got a lot of publicity in the nation, but only 122,000 votes in Delaware. Boxer got more than that in Long Beach.

Joe Miller in Alaska got only 68,000 votes. Sharon Angle in Nevada got only 321,000 votes.

O’Donnell, Miller and Angle lost their elections—along with Linda McMahon in Connecticut -- but even the Tea Party candidates who won didn’t get very many votes compared to Boxer. Rand Paul in Kentucky was elected with 752,000 votes; Boxer got five times that many. She got twenty times more than Tea Party winner John Hoeven in North Dakota, ten times more than Mike Crapo in Idaho.
