The poison pill in any emergent political movement like the Tea Party that eventually kills from within is hubris. The Tea Party gang seems to have chugged that pill down during their victory party back in November of 2010. Romney has the most delegates because he's the 'establishment candidate.' He can't get any real traction, though, because -to add to the metaphor stew- the Tea Party wing of the Republican party is too busy feasting on their young. You're right that Obama ought to be vulnerable to a credible challenger. Maybe not Carter vulnerable, but vulnerable enough. Your Tea Party gang can't be satisfied with the prospect of defeating Obama. They'd rather sacrifice all that to try to go all-in on the idea of returning the country to an hallucinatory version of the 1950s that was spawned from an imagined American Constitutional theocracy of the 1780s. That stuff plays in the talk radio echo-chamber, but the rest of the country didn't drink that kool-aid, and when they listen to those who did, they don't want any. They just cringe and say "Something creepy just happened to me."Originally Posted by Johnny Ringo
