I'm not sure what you are suggesting is pure fantasy. I will assume that it is the concept of voting for Bishop Jackson. If you concur that at least 60% of the folks in the Coliseum has some type of relationship to Tea Parties, like myself and over 80% in my delegation - and Bishop Jackson received 58% of the vote on the last ballot, then a lot of Tea Party Patriots voted for Jackson. I know when we learned that the Middle Resolution had jumped to Pete Snyder on the last vote, most of the remaining Tea Party folks went to Jackson. This is also true when Susan dropped out and Jamie supported Pete. More Tea Party went to Jackson. Pete Snyder was not the choice of individual Tea Party folks and they weren't going to go to Snyder.
I was a Corey supporter too. I loved what he did at the end. It killed Pete.
Which delegation were you in? I was in Goochland - and per an earlier thread, we need to get Richmond area Freepers together.
I worked closely with them on the Tea Party Convention and was one of the sponsors. I was part of the COLA committee putting together legislation for the General Assembly. I have a great deal of respect for Jamie and Donna.
The Tea Party organizations did not walk in lock step with the Middle Resolution/RTP assessment. I'm very familiar with the interviews and candidate analysis they did.
I am a Tea Party member and a member of Middle Resolution, which is a great organization. I did not participate in these interviews but have participate in other MR candidate interviews.
I am not saying that there was unanimity in the ranking of the candidates. It was a consensus and a worthwhile effort to try to get behind one candidate rather than split support among a number of candidates. In the past, the Tea Party has split its support giving the establishment candidate the advantage. As it worked out, the establishment candidates were defeated. IMO Corey would have a made a much stronger candidate, but we are stuck with Jackson who will no do well against Chopra.

Fairfax County. Although I live in FC, I became a member of the Richmond Tea Party.
