re: #554 Obdicut

Here’s some interesting polling stuff:

Generic Tea party candidates come out ahead of GOP (and Democrats, but not by much) in new Rasmussen poll.

Well, sure. It’s a non-existent political party based on a rough, grass roots sentiment with no real ideological foundation. That’s easy for a voter at this time to project anything onto a “Tea Party” candidate and say they’d vote for what they think they want. The only thing to glean from that poll would be people want some sort of return to fiscal conservatism, but feel the GOP isn’t delivering. They’d be right, but they’d also be wrong to think Ron Paul and a Tea Party would be any better.
