17. The Tsunami Comes Ashore - Tuesday, November 2, 2010

Rick Santelli of CNBC initiated a political tsunami by uttering the words “tea party” in his famous rant from the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on Feb. 19, 2009.

No seat was safe this summer, as many Washington staples from both parties were shown the door even before the general election. Some fell in the primaries while others decided they did not want to face the wrath of voters and retired altogether. The wave will crest on Election Day, as a recent Rasmussen poll found 65 percent of likely U.S. voters would vote to get rid of the entire Congress and start over if they had the option.
