[lbo-talk] tea party numbers

[Dennis Claxton]

I was just looking for estimates of how many tea partyers there are 
and found this at Patchwork Nation:

Even if the 67,000 or so members we have identified overall 
understates the number of tea party members by a factor of 10, the 
number would still be fairly small in relation to the electorate as a whole.
