I never said that. I wrote that the numbers and analysis of the Tea Party were wrong, and folks were still not taking the Tea Party mobilization seriously. It's not just the election.

Really, Chip. You think the Tea Party is responsible for the Reps 10-point lead in the generic Congressional ballot? Can't you admit that the Obama admin is widely perceived as a failure, for a broad variety of reasons? The health bill is deeply disliked. Obama is continuing two unpopular wars. He's devoted himself to pleasing Wall Street. But it's all the TP?
