Doesn’t sound like there is a good candidate in this race.
Don’t worry, when the Republican loses due to the third party candidate, the Lame-Stream Media will say it’s a referendum on Paul Ryan’s budget. If the Republican should somehow win, it will be crickets chirping in the LSM.
Indeed they will, but if we lose this race the real truth will be almost as bad. Assuming we lose because a bunch of disgruntled conservative dunderheads voted 3rd party - even though the supposed Tea Party candidate is an obvious protectionist, liberal Democrat. Bellavia, the supposed Tea Party favorite candidate who did not get the GOP nomination even went on to endorse Davis. Additionally, some small percentage voters who don't know much about the election but loosely identify with the Tea Party will vote for anyone with Tea Party after their name.
All this is a huge invitation for Democrats and liberal groups to put up fake Tea Party candidates across the country. They did a lot of this in 2010, but they will do it on a massive scale in 2012. It might have been much better had the Tea Party had named itself something without "party" in the label. Perhaps TEA for America, or TEA Foundation, etc. Having the word "party" in the name even though they are not an official party just lends itself to leftist/Democrat games and chicanery.
It's the printer friendly version of a Politico story. The boobs picked a nominee estimated to be worth "as high as $158 million." It's time for these clowns to spring a GOP primary.
The GOP has to make a humongous turnout effort. Good luck!
