Are any Tea Party candidates going to win? |
|
Are we going to have an actual Tea Party representative?
This doesn't include "Republicans", meaning actual candidates running on the Tea Party (by any name other Republicans). Rand Paul is a not a Tea Party candidate he is a Republican and is running as such.

1. Doesn't matter. The Tea Party will take credit for every race they back that wins. |

Including the Randian.
And the media will continue to elevate these racists.

3. Hell, they'll claim victory for any race. Whether they backed the winning candidate |
|
or not.
Repuke wins over incumbent Dem - "Our candidate won!" (even if they supported his opponent/opponents in the primaries)
Repuke incumbent wins - "Our candidate won!" (even when they were saying "throw them all out and start anew!")
Dem wins - "We sent a message to the Republican party!"

2. Pete Sessions (R-TX) defeated a Tea Party candidate in the GOP primary... |
|
...but now he has sought the blessings of the teabaggers and counts himself as one of them.
It's like a cancer, and we're entering stage III.

4. I doubt it, but in Colorado the third party candidate for Gov. may take so many (R) votes... |
|
... that the Repubs will be listed as a third party for the next two election cycles (2012 and 2014).
That would be hilarious IMO
Especially if we hold on to both houses of Congress
