I agree. You’re right on target there.
Just yesterday I was mentioning to someone that I thought there were 240 Republicans in the House. On FoxNews this morning, they confirmed that I hit it right on the nose.
Right now there are 60 Tea Party Caucus members. Unless I’m mistaken those sixty came on board during the 2010 elections.

My point is, that it would only take 120+1 to wrestle control from the old party elites. And then...
Each of those 60 Tea Party members are Republicans. I’d sure love to see a 2012 sweep of the House, to clean up the mess there.
Sixty one or two more should do it. That’s an important goal IMO.
