It's representatives...... sorry.... that fact remains is that they are mostly from the south....

not peculiar....predictable.
Indeed, those in the South have championed state's rights ever since the Constitution was ratified, Given the population density in the South as compared to the Midwest and West, one can easily see why those who favored a smaller, less intrusive and federal government would be largely associated with such a large region of the nation. The Northeast is populated with national government proponents, so it is no surprise that there is not a large segment of people who would align themselves with a group in favor of a federal government. Same for the left coast, which explains why the less densely populated rural areas of the West that still believe in self sufficiency are the ones who elected representatives who align themselves with their constituency. Midwest is kind of a mixed bag, with most of the former union industrial areas still aligned with the party of Democrats, which also seem to favor national as opposed to federal government.
Also interesting to note is that the areas with a greater representation in the TEA Party caucus are the ones that picked up more electoral votes as a result of the last census. Quite peculiar, eh?
