Tea Party Write-in Candidate Defies the Establishment
-- Trounces Republican and Democrat candidates in state senate race

Both Republicans and Democrats alike were stunned when a write-in candidate trounced the establishment picks for their respective parties in a state senate race last week.

The Republican Tea Party candidate, Scott Wagner, garnered 48 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, as compared to the meager totals by the establishment Republican (27 percent) and the Democrat (26 percent).

Out of more than 22,000 votes cast, Wagner garnered 10,654 write-in ballots.  This marks the first time in state history that a write-in candidate has won a state senate seat.
