For obvious reasons a 3rd party attempt just wont work. Staying the course with the Tea Party will be more effective.

We have about 60-80 Tea Party folks in congress now..counting both houses. We just need to keep gaining ground. Primaries and especially off yr elections will be a key factor. Dont forget local elections too.

The GOP sees the TEA party as a much bigger threat than the Dem's. The recent events have cemented that in their mind.

There will be a big push to attack the TEA party, funded by the GOP. In short, the TEA party over played their hand. In any organization, the first goal is to keep those in power, in power. The GOP sees the tea upsurge as a threat, and have convinced themselves it must be dealt with. They will be happy to throw a few more elections in order to keep control.

"Staying the course with the Tea Party will be more effective."

Only if Tea Party groups get off their lazy butts and get back out in the streets. They've been quiet for way too long.
