Most Tea Party Candidates Lost

NBC News: "For all the talk of the Tea Party's strength -- and there will certainly be a significant number of their candidates in Congress -- just 32% of all Tea Party candidates who ran for Congress won and 61.4% lost this election. A few races remain too close to call."

In the Senate, however, 10 candidates backed by the Tea Party ran and at least five were successful. (The race in Alaska has not yet been called.)
