So does the Tea Party actually stand for something, or are they just "anti-establishment" at this point?

First there is no "The Tea Party". It is a movement made up of lots of people and some people have formed factions and those factions have agendas. So when we say "The Tea Party" supports - it is difficult to respond to clearly.
In my view, Castle was out of touch, ran a poor campaign and got defeated, the race was his to win. it was the local voters who made the choice - most of those voter probably could care less about "The Tea Party".
