Remember this Guy?

From Eric Dondero:

That's right. The guy who put a young conservative video reporter in a headlock on a Washington D.C. street lost his race. Longtime Democrat Congressman Bob Etherige lost to Tea Party Republican and Registered Nurse Renee Elmers.

From the Washington Examiner:

Weirdly, it appears only seven-term Democrat Bob “Who are you?” Etheridge -- neck and neck with his challenger throughout the night -- finally succumbed to Renee Elmers (according to WRAL news of Raleigh).

Elmers ran fiery campaign commercials including one accusing Etherige and the Democrats of being soft on Islamo-Fascism and supportive of the Ground Zero Mosque in NYC.

Etherige was the only Democrat Congressman to go down to defeat in the State.

Democrats lose the NC House; a loss of "Titanic proportions"

In other North Carolina results, the State House of Representatives has gone Republican. Continuing:

If history was to be a guide with respect to the Democrats’ lock on the N. C. General Assembly, history was a no-show this November. The N.C. legislature should have remained in the hands of a party that had not let go of power for more than 100 years. Ignoring their appalling ethics, one had to admire the sheer tenacity of Tar Heel Democrats who -- despite all manner of corruption charges and accusations -- had managed to keep the state in their clutches through scandal after scandal (since the horse and buggy age).

And yet North Carolina is now red at the state level. This is a flip of titanic proportions. According to the Charlotte Observer:

Republicans haven't led both chambers together since their Fusion coalition with farmers got defeated in 1898. That includes a 112-year losing streak in the Senate and only four years of House control in the 1990s.
