Conservatives Do Well Overall Despite Senate Setbacks
by Pete Winn, associate editor

With early results being tabulated, it's too close to call for Republicans, according to Tom McClusky, vice president of governmental relations at the Family Research Council.

Still, pro-family conservatives are doing well.

"We're seeing that a number of people who have won the FRC True Blue Award, scoring 100 percent on the FRC Action and Focus on the Family Action score card, are all doing remarkably well," McClusky told CitizenLink.

Voters are speaking loud and clear on social issues dear to the hearts of conservatives.

"On marriage amendments, with large numbers, we’ve already seen three states called, and it's early yet," he added. "In Virginia and Tennessee, the numbers are up in the 80s, and South Carolina, the numbers are in the 70s."

Pro-family forces in D.C. will be two fewer in the Senate, however.

"We have lost two good people; one an excellent leader in the Senate on family issues, Rick Santorum (of Pennsylvania), and the other, on life issues, Mike DeWine (of Ohio)," McClusky said. "Those losses will be felt, most definitely, because they are being replaced by liberals."

McClusky is predicting Democrats may pick up 13 seats in the House, but only three in the Senate.
