The republican establishment hates Tea Party candidates and other reformers more than they hate democrats.
Democrats only want to be in charge of the dirty, filthy, unconstitutional system by which they all prosper. Republicans still get the table scraps and can look forward to being in charge again some day.
Tea Party candidates are reformers who want to change the system and eliminate the power, perks and theft of taxpayer wealth that keeps the same professional politicians fighting over elective office year after year.
Rasmussen shows Christine down by a mere 11%...wonder where she would be right now if the establishment shills like Rove and Krauthammer had kept their pieholes shut?
Exactly. The Tea Party will be fighting BOTH machines, for a long time and at every level.
I am sickened that they are allowing Gingrich to grandstand. A bad move which they will come to regret.
