Even when Romney only means we will spend more time in the wilderness with little or no voice.
There is less incentive for a presumptive President Romney to care about that after being elected, though he ought to care about it at least for the sake of getting re-elected.
Anyhow, part of the Tea Party’s weakness is the lack of a nationally heard voice. Maybe there ought to be a Tea Party Network, if enough dollars can be drummed up to found one.
