“because TEA party senate candidates”

Look at Romney’s turnout. He failed to get the same people who voted for John McCain to vote for him.

Had he got McCain’s turnout, all those close losses would have resulted in victory.

This is all on Romney, not the tea party.

The low-information voters are susceptible to name recognition. McCain was a well known public figure for several years before the 2008 cycle. Romney was not, outside of MA and SLC. That was due to his lower-key personality and greater humility, compared to camera-hog McCain.

Sadly, in this era of celebrity worship, another drywall candidate won't do.

Sorry to repeat, but all ballots have not been counted yet. Romney should exceed McCain when everything is counted up.
