Conservative candidates favored by the Tea Party have gathered more ground in some of the last primary elections before November’s Congressional elections.

Supporters of Delaware Republican Christine O’Donnell reprised and adapted the ‘Yes, We Can’ rallying cry of Democratic President Barack Obama to celebrate her victory in the small eastern state, Delaware, Tuesday night.

O’Donnell started her victory speech by thanking several groups associated with the grassroots, strongly religious and socially conservative Tea Party movement.
