Most Tea Party groups endorsed Dwayne Stovall. But, there was no money. But, it did force Cornyn to spend $6-8 Million of his campaign war chest. He was shared scitless.
Stovall's entire budget was less that $75,000. That doesn't speak well of his tea party support, I'm afraid. Over and over, I'm seeing the same thing - lots of mouth and not much money. Well, politics takes money - great honking gobs of it - and if the Tea Partiers aren't willing to dig deep they will continue to see the back end of the GOPe candidates' Cadillacs as they drive off into the sunset, secure in their next term in office.
btw, not picking on you, Din. It's just something that needs to be said.
