Perhaps only 6 tea party candidates will make it to Congress.
Imagine the reaction of senior Republican chairmen who not only will get no respect from these freshman, they will be subjected to disdain and a total ingnorance of procedure, protocol and even an iota of civility...

which has already become nearly extinct in the Republican House.

The tea party is about at its zenith since the mission they are on is at cross purposes with itself on two important facts.

1 IT has no leader (unless it is beck Palin and Rush) and
2 they are against the very notion of the job they were elected to do.
