How much you want to bet that the TP runs their own POTUS candidate, splits the GOP vote and ensures Obama's re-election?
Tea party 2012 poll favors Ga.'s Cain, Texas' Paul

How much you wanna bet that you are probably the last person on earth who is about to find out that the tea party does not wish to run a candidate. The Tea Party is not a political party, nor does it wish to be, it is a conservative movement, a real grass movement, not like the AstroTurf union movement you see bused in to democrat rallies.
Also, being that about 70% of Americans allign themselves with the tea party movement, I wouldn't feel so comfortable with an obama win even if one of them decided to run.
Wishful thinking on your part right? Idget.
Also, if you are counting on a 3rd party candidate to help Obamas chances at winning that does not say very much about Obama at this point.
