#1 Is this real tea party folks or a splinter trying to use the name. No one seems to know this guy Ashjian. More to be determined.

#2 Unless the Dhimmicrats succeed in forcing bloggers to get a license in the next week, we'll know everything we need to know about Jon Ashjian.

#3 Unfortunate last name, makes me think "ashcan".

I'm comforted by the notable inability of third-party spoilers in New Jersey and Massachusetts to get any traction in the last two races. Even when the one in Massachusetts ran with a Kennedy last name.

#4 Check out the fellows listed as party officers in the filing. They are dead ends / ties to Reid. This looks like a false flag operation. Being followed on both instapundit and "the corner"

#5 The problem for the media and the Donks is that there is no formal Tea Party or funding source to tie to. As such, there is no flag pole to rally around or against. Anyone can try to tag themselves with the name 'Tea Party', but unlike the other two established party organizations the population that will blindly pull the lever doesn't really exist in the movement. These are not party clones. Of course that means their ability to attract the dead and Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck et al is very restricted.

#6 P2K - problem is - the divide and conquer strategy is in effect. The "Tea Party" third party guy in Vegas is someone nobody's heard of. Watch to see other Astroturf tea party candididates surface to try and split the vote. Reid MUST GO DOWN
