#1 Heard on Fox that 71% of the vote for Brown were independents. That should be a message to both parties to straighten up.

#2 Typical of the MSM that they go to one of the old gaurd for the commentary.

They totally misrepresent the NY Scozzafava election and they insist on trying to pin their definition on conservatives. Scuzzie is a big government tax and spend type NOT a conservative. 'pubs could have ridden the conservative horse to a victory but they went with the system insider. System insiders are anathema to a true tea party type.

Teapartiers are motivated by fears in the areas of Taxing, spending, loss of freedoms and safety.

That's about it. Individual tea partiers are all over the map on the much, much less important "social" issues of gay marriage or the war on drugs or abortion.

As long as the 'Pubs understand that and become the party of fiscal conservatism and defense they will enjoy grass roots support. As soon as they revert to caring more about the sanctity of marriage then the sanctity of the budget (i.e. DON'T give in to the rent seekers and corporatists) they will lose any traction.
