I don't think so. Nothing helps a movement like a bit of success. The Tea Party showed very good support in the elections yesterday. Not even a baseball player bats 1000. You have not heard the last from Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, or their supporters. A new political lion has been born and it's name is Rand Paul. He will either do well, and show some good results, or he will be fired in the next election like the Democrats were fired in this election. Marco Rubio is going to be a new shining political star also. Any politician, Republican or Democrat, who is not a political fool will be aware of the Tea Party after yesterday. As Sarah Palin said, "The train is leaving the station." If you are a wise politician you will get on board. The Tea Party has begun the process of establishing itself. The GOP and the Tea Party need to join forces. If not, the Tea Party will over take the Republican party and it will disappear.
