The Tea Party concept is fine. But too many kooks in the leadership of the movement will sink it. This is the same thing that will be Obama’s undoing —and clearly he knows that the center is the only place where sanity can be found. The question is whether he can stay there and we can stay the right wing radical idiots from undermining the center.
