re: #330 Eclectic Cyborg

Establishment (and business backed) GOP Byrne defeats Tea Partier Dean Young in Alabama, though I’m sure most of you saw that already.

That’s kind of a surprise to me. When the Tea Party can’t win clean in Alabama, you know they’re hurting.

Byrne had a massive funding advantage and most the organizational endorsements (The NRA endorsed him, for example). The ‘Tea Party’ label isn’t enough to surmount that kind of organizational and funding advantage.
