You mix that with Obamanation taking a stand against the American voter in Arizona, I think we'll have a new senate, but not as big a landslide as people think.
I think the future of the Tea Party depends on their resolve to weather the racial attacks of liberals like NAACP and others that are afraid of them, because racial attacks is all they have left, that's pretty weak.
But Obamanation will tell everyone that letting the GOP back in will take us back to the days of Bush, makes it sound like he is still running against Bush doesn't, again, weak!
