The political landscape is getting weirder and weirder. This whole Tea Party movement is putting the Republican party on its head. With more of these "nut cases" ousting viable Republican candidates in the primaries, the outlook improves for the Democrat candidate in the general election. I just heard some Republican operative opining that Tea Party victories yesterday in New York and Delaware just cost the Republicans at least two Senate seats. Mainstream Republicans (and the polls) are pretty unanimous in agreeing that there is no way these right wing fringe candidates are ever going to appeal to anything other than their rabid base.
As for the politicking going on in the more traditional arena, here is another one of my example of a picture being worth 1000 words.

Great cartoon Tom. I hope the pundits are right, but I'm afraid some of these Tea Party backed upset candidates might just muster enough enthusiasm to counter the lack of it in many Dems and Independents and actually help the Pubbies (as a friend calls Republicans) take back the Congress and then the Tea Party candidates will have a disproportionate amount of influence (as in the upset in the Deleware Republican primary where only a small minority of eligible voters made that happen.
Mike,
From your lips to God's ears.
