Yeah I can't believe people thought bringing Palin on board was an automatic clincher for president, the strategy behind that still mystifies me to this day. It was funny as fuck watching that train wreck occur amongst cries of "elections over!!!!" it was even funnier laughing about a month or two later.

Anyway I think the tea party is just too disjointed right now, its easy to hop on board when the whole theme is anti Obama/Democrats but once they truly have to begin defining themselves as a party they're either just going to be GOP light or hard line fringe and I don't think either will help them win an election. The GOP certainly isn't going to step aside for another party and I think when push comes to shove most tea party members will just go back to the Reps while the whole movement dies out... in other words I think this whole thing is just a political fad and something to unify around while the right is out of the picture.
