Ahh the cries from the left that the TEA party is dead- how many times have we heard this?
I see no evidence of it anywhere at all- the 2010 sweep through congress was just the beginning. I believe conservatives will capture the senate next. TEA party candidates are displacing the "old country club" republicans in record numbers- Americans are tired of big government politicians- dosn't matter if they have a D or an R next to their names.
This race was significant because it took out an incumbant with a high degree of name recognition- and that's always an uphill battle.
Americans SAY they're tired of big government spending but as soon as their favorite programs are threatened they're right back to "You can't cut that!"
