>>Let’s hope the tea party is more advanced in its recruiting the next time around.<<
I’m not so sure the TEA party actually recruited her did they? Perhaps a small group did but not the major players in the TEA party. I thought they started backing her after she announced that she was running.
That sounds likely, but the GOP will only be remade if and when, among other things, its tea party wing has the ability to assure strong, not goofy, conservative candidates run nationwide.
