The Tea Party right now is nothing more than a fractured collection of different groups. The biggest and most powerful of these groups are nothing more than an arm of the republican party as they try to cultivate a new base.
When they get an actual Tea Party candidate elected to a major office or even get them as a serious contender for a major office I might consider them a player. Right now they are a bunch of people with misspelled signs and some free time.
They had less to do with the getting brown elected in Mass then Coakley did. She was a shitty candidate and people saw through it. They also have universal health care in that state and want to keep it and not go on Obamacare.
Oh and this major convention consists of only 600 people. There are even tickets still left at $350 each for Palin's much anticipated speech. By those standards just about any porn convention is bigger and has a larger draw
