I thought you were saying we should try to win with good candidates in the GOP primary but then vote GOP in the general no matter what. That is apparently what indyconantidim, binc, Seawolf, & Joe Oliva believe. (forgive me if I've misrepresented y'all).

I hope you're right, and that Tea Party candidates will be able displace liberal Republicans in the primaries. I will be voting for the best limited-gov't / constitutionalist candidate I can find in both the GOP primary and the general, so it sounds like we're in agreement on that point.

America's Party

For Democrats like Harry Reid, who called them "evil-mongers," and Nancy Pelosi, who called them "un-American," the NBC News poll must have hit like a sucker punch at a Georgetown wine-and-cheese.

The Tea Party movement, those folks rallying against spending last spring and Obamacare in the summer town halls, are viewed more favorably than the Democratic Party.

Forty-one percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party movement, to 35 percent for Obama's party. Only 24 percent view Tea Party activists unfavorably, while 45 percent hold a negative view of the Democrats.
