How can anyone be sure, that the results of a Tea Party Convention would actually represent the interests of activists at the local Tea Party level?

How can Tea Party credentials be enforced, when there isn’t a single Tea Party candidate or organization recognized by any Secretary of State anywhere?

What parliamentary rules can be enforced, when a rule book for a convention has to be made up from scratch?

What’s to prevent a convention being taken over and run by activists or self-serving consultants (from either of the existing major parties)?

Ah, yes, however did those grossly disorganized "Committees of Correspondence" ever manage to foment a Revolution without a "dear leader" to "enforce their credentials"?

Yet somehow they managed it. I suspect that the Tea Party grassroots will manage also.
