DeMint bolts from the Senate

So Army gets a consulting gig; resigns from Freedom Works over the book deal and you think it is some sign that the Tea Party is in shambles?

bring on Colbert.

The Tea Party has no principles, so how could they fall out of favor! Originally Posted by WTF

It is not a good strategy to dismiss one's opposition.

The "sky is falling on the GOP".........your a very stupid person to say such a ridiculous thing.

The 2012 election was the perfect status quo event. On November 6 Americans by the millions went through a massive exercise of going to the polls and voting, only to awake the next morning to find that nothing had changed—other than a welcome respite from the incessant phone calls from the campaign headquarters. There was the same president, the same majority party in the House of Representatives, and the same majority party in the Senate. John Boehner was still Speaker of the House, and Harry Reid Majority Leader of the Senate. Above all, the election offered no feeling of renewal, no sense of a new direction for public policy.

Obama made history in 2012 almost as much as he did in 2008. For the first time, an incumbent won re-election to a second term while receiving fewer votes than in his first election. All other victorious incumbents—most recently Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush—gained electoral strength, Obama lost it.

The relative position of the two parties nevertheless remains very close, and the nation evenly divided. Democrats have the edge "horizontally" at the national level, while Republicans have a large advantage "vertically" at the state level. The GOP holds 30 of the 50 governors and has full control (both houses of the legislature and the governorship) in 23 states compared to 12 for the Democrats. The United States is far from being anything like a pure blue nation. Republicans have both a legitimate claim and the power to exercise a significant role in governing.

At the state house level the era of Progressive politics is being dismantled in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, NJ, and now Michigan. Last night the State of Michigan put itself on track to get rid of the union closed shop rules that was choking off economic growth ! That's right, in the state that the UAW was born, unionization is being de-legislated ! All with the consent of Michigan citizens and their Tea Party representatives.
