re: #30 wozzablog

I agree that where the teabaggers appear on the ballot they will draw from Republicans, and they will win a few primaries. But the aggregate effect of this will be what? How many races will they really impact? My answer is “not many”, and I think that those on the D side who think that the teabaggers are going to save them from an otherwise painful mid-term are wrong.

I think the midterms will hinge on the same things they usually hinge on: the economy and the war. Absent some other unforeseen event, that is what it will be about. Teabaggers make good copy, but they will not be the hinge upon which these elections pivot.
