COMMENTS: Unelectable Without Electability
Dean Reynolds checked in with the Tea Party for CBS, the first update on the conservative populist movement since its Tax Day protests six weeks ago. Reynolds pointed to midterm contests in November in which Tea Party candidates may run on the Republican line in Nevada, Florida, Utah, Arizona and Kentucky. "Republicans know that passion and energy are terrific but they also know that without electability you do not win elections," Reynolds opined tautologically. His example was Tony d'Annunzio, a machine-gun-loving Tea Party candidate for the Republican nomination in North Carolina's 8th CD: "Divorce papers called him a messianic drug user who worries that a gigantic pyramid will des end on Greenland."
