Do Tea Party Patriots in key Virginia district really support GOP frontrunner?

That's the multi-million-dollar question, considering all the political resources already, and about to be, poured into Virginia's Second Congressional District. Presumed GOP primary favorite, Scott Rigell, just released results of internal polling that reportedly indicates he's way ahead of the rest of the Republican field. But that's Rigell's own poll; Tea Party activists say they aren't so sure. (MORE)

Tomorrow, during their weekly radio show, two members of the Board of the Hampton Roads Tea Party (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth) will announce the Board's much-anticipated endorsement. The Tea Party in SE Virginia has thousands of members and is very active. So this announcement (with plenty of hints the backing won't go to Rigell) could stir the pot in the GOP race to select a candidate to go against Dem freshman Glenn Nye. This should be a race to watch, as it's certainly drawing a lot of national attention. Hampton Roads has the nation's largest concentration of military personnel and familes.

Does anyone from HR TP have or know of any pictures from Calderon’s recent speech showing Nye standing and applauding the speech? And if it was a joint session, Warner and Webb? Good ammunition if so .....

In my reading, Rigell has plenty of money and a business (auto dealer), and was endorsed by Gov McDonnell... not a whole lot else though. And he’s advertising more than his opponents. But I’m liking Bert Mizusawa, retired Brig General,USAR, former Ranger, First in his class, West Point, and best of all, sees Obama’s bowing to other nations as a major disrespect to the nation and it’s people.

Who cares who Scott Taylor is and why are you directing that information to me?

Because you announced (twice) that Rigell donated to Obama and Taylor is a good alternative for the Republican nomination.

Did you end up on this thread by accident, or are you on drugs ?

LOL. I was just responding to the article that is the source of this thread. Scott Taylor is not mentioned. Let’s see whom the Tea Party endorses.

Tea Party’s going to endorse Taylor. I’d bet the farm. Bert Misusawa looks interesting on paper but you won’t find 5 people in a thousand who have the first idea who he is.

Yep...I’d bet money that they come out for Taylor. There are three reliable conservatives in the race, Taylor, Misusawa and Ben Loyola. I hope that the remaining two candidates get behind whoever gets the Tea Party endorsement. I’ll happily support any of the three but two need to drop out. I’d hate to see Rigell walk away with this because conservative votes were spread thin between 3 good candidates.

Then there’s absolutely, positively no way he is any kind of a conservative and the Tea Party would do well to give their endorsement to someone else. The Republican Party needs to wake up, but I don’t think they will under the misguided leadership of Michael Steele.
