If the Tea Party movement is to function merely as the activist wing of Republican talk radio, it won't get very far.But if they hitch their wagon to the Ron Paul star... wow... there's no telling how far they can go... in East Texas.
Perhaps all the way to El Paso, but I see that wagon breaking down before it hits Fort Stockton.
The Ron Paul movement might want to put their HQ in Pecos. Not much left there in that historic town, they could take the town over.
