WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans gained a Senate seat in Indiana and tea party favorite Rand Paul coasted to victory in Kentucky in midterm elections Tuesday night, first fruits of a drive to break the Democrats’ grip on power in Congress. Republicans also led for a pair of House seats in Democratic hands, and projected confidence they would succeed in winning a majority and installing Rep. John Boehner of Ohio as speaker. All 435 seats in the House were on the ballot, plus 37 in the Senate in an election shadowed by recession power and stirred by a rebellion of tea party conservatives.
