Romney’s team is making a mistake. The Tea Party has not peaked yet. Insiders need to join the stampede or get trampled underfoot.
I agree. The nation was shocked the night of January 19th when Scott Brown won the "Kennedy" senate seat by a solid margin here in Massachusetts. Yes, it is true that Brown does not represent the Tea Party and he's a bit of a RINO, but it did send a clear message to Democrats that things were about to start changing.
Well that was only a shot across the bow and a week from Tuesday, the nation will be rocked to the core when they see just how strong this movement is. When the dust settles from this upcoming election, I predict that nobody will be talking about Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich for president any longer. The Republican party will no longer belong to them.
Over the next two years, the Tea Party movement will continue to build and by the summer of 2012, it will have taken over the infrastructure of the GOP and very likely, Sarah Palin will be making her acceptance speech as the Republican nominee for President of the United States and whatever we gain a week from Tuesday in terms of House and Senate seats, add another 100+ two years from now.
The light at the end of the tunnel is about to get so bright that we are going to have to get our sunglasses out.
