The significance of the Tea Party rests with the assumption that elections are decided by "who turns out" (after all, the ultimate affect of the Tea Party is to "get out the vote").

I'm starting to realize that a much bigger factor in elections is who does not bother to vote. I would think that those who supported Obama would have difficulty finding their motivation in the next couple of election cycles.

You might even see former Obama supporters turning out in anger over the next few cycles.
