Designed for "shaping the inchoate anger of the Tea Party with its libertarian ideology and leftist organizing tactics", recent talks are teaching Tea Party members how to recurit and advertize politicians of their party and win over the people "one vote at a time". Should the Tea Party accomplish this feat of complete organization in such a limited amount of time, I will be thorougly impressed and suggest that opposing parties take their impact into consideration while formating their own campaigns for the upcomming elections. However, these this may just be another third party, doomed to fade away or blend one of the other two major parties like every other third party in American history. Their ability to unionize under specific leaders and recruit supporters en masse will determine whether this party will sink or swim. A clear picture of what it is exactly they are endorsing would be nice though.
