My hope is that we can get more TP members in the House and possibly take over the Senate too.

This is THE NUMBER ONE TASK for conservatives in the upcoming election. As long as the Tea Party element in the GOP continues to gain power, we'll be able to influence events. My motto: VOTE HOBBIT!

There simply is no perfect candidate out there. Perry has his warts, but with a Tea Party Congress he can be made to do the right thing. I think that's our best bet to influence events. The real action isn't so much at the federal level anymore; it's at the local school board elections, the state legislatures, and lastly, the federal Congress. Taking these local offices is as important as the presidency now.

I can live with a Perry administration if we have a Tea Party Congress

You summed up my exact position in that one sentence, in fact your entire post is spot on and very well stated.

Bravo!

EXACTLY!! And any way you slice it, Perry is a million times better than the current occupant of the White House!
