In this sense, Mr. Paul’s quandary reflects the position of the Tea Partiers, whose antipathy to government, rooted in populist impatience with the major parties, implies a repudiation of politics and its capacity to effect meaningful change.

As a self-identified Tea Partier, I'd say I've had just about enough of the "meaningful change" provided by the political class.

Paul has the same problem that plagued Gingrich.. Neither can speak “SOUNDBITE”.. which the MSM will use against them.. just like they did to DAN QUAYLE!!
