Lets take a straw poll on who will beat him… Newt? Palin? Romney? Cheney Jr? Yet unknown savior of the GOP?[/quote]
The GOP will nominate a Tea Partyer.
As everyone already knew, the Tea Party is just the GOP rebranded.
The rebranding was necessary because the old brand is tainted nearly beyond repair.
For some months now, I have been battling against the idea that the Tea Party movement is some brand-new thing in American politics, an independent movement akin to the rebellion led by Ross Perot in the 1990s. Tea Party people, I have been arguing, are simply right-wing Republicans organized under a new banner.
I have not been alone in making this case, of course, and it has been slowly gaining ground, but I hope a new Gallup study will settle the question. Gallup is one of our oldest polling firms and no one’s idea of an agent for the left-wing conspiracy.
