Thanks to its supporters, CVF had victories in 2008. In the Senate, Conservative Victory Fund helped elect and re-elect a number of conservatives including: Senators Jim Inhofe (OK), [[John Cornyn]] (TX), [[Roger Wicker]] (MS), [[Jeff Sessions]] (AL), [[Pat Roberts]] (KS), and [[Saxby Chambliss]] (GA) (whom CVF helped in the general election and subsequent runoff) among others. Also, Jim Risch became a new conservative face in the Senate when he won Larry Craig's Senate seat with the help of Conservative Victory Fund.

During its 40-year history Conservative Victory Fund has always looked to open seats to make sure conservatives fill them whenever possible. 2008 was no different. CVF helped conservative stalwart [[Tom McClintock]] win an open seat in [[California]] though millions were spent on behalf of his opponent. Also in California, CVF helped [[Duncan D. Hunter]] win election (he had recently returned from active duty service in our nation's armed forces). In Colorado, [[Mike Coffman]] won a hard-fought contest for [[Tom Tancredo]]'s seat. In [[Florida]], CVF was active helping [[Bill Posey]] win an open seat and [[Tom Rooney]] defeat Democrat incumbent [[Tim Mahoney]]. CVF's efforts in [[Illinois]] helped conservative [[Aaron Schock]] win and become the youngest member elected to Congress. And in [[Utah]], after conservatives showed their lack of faith in incumbent [[Chris Cannon]], [[Jason Chaffetz]] won his seat. And in a special election in [[Louisiana]] CVF helped [[John Fleming]] win his open seat race.
