Quotes from Election 2010: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good:

Marco Rubio’s victory speech: “We make a great mistake if we believe that tonight these results are somehow an embrace of the Republican party…What they are is a second chance, a second chance for Republicans to be what they said they were going to be not so long ago.”

Rand Paul: “Tonight, there’s a tea-party tidal wave.”

John Boehner to the Tea Party: “I’ll never let you down.”

Christine O’Donnell in her concession speech: “Our voices were heard and we’re not going to be quiet now. This is just the beginning.”

Jim DeMint: “I can almost feel the ground shaking here because there’s an earthquake election going on all over this country.”

The Bad

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) in defeating Fiorina: “We stood up to Karl Rove and we won. We stood up to Sarah Palin and we won.”

Jerry Brown’s acceptance speech as Governor of CA. Meg Whitman and the $140 million she spent still isn’t enough to defeat the union backed Moonbeam. He said: “We haven’t got all the votes in yet, but hell, it’s good enough for government work.”

Sen. John Kerry (D) on Reid victory: “Hell, all the pundits were wrong.”

The Ugly

Nancy Pelosi to election workers Tuesday: “We have taken the country in a new direction and we are not going back to the failed policies of the past.”

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV): “Today, Nevada chose hope over fear. Nevada chose to move forward, not backwards.”
