#1 The same thing will happen as when that schoolteacher won the Democratic nomination for Senator a number of years ago. The party faithful will abandon their nominee and comiserate with the other party about what a crap candidate they were handed. Donors won't give and activists won't work.

#2 This is the biggest fear the media left and Democrats have. They had hoped the Tea party was history. They had done their best to smear it. Now they are the ones with the mess in their pants.I believe that many Democrats are lost. The party has left them. I believe many will not vote come November.

#3 Tea Party certainly isn't history in Texas, but I'm not sure they have the winning margin around the country (not that I'd discourage them).

Dewhurst had better support Cruz in the general, or there's going to be a war on the party 'faithful', and it won't be pretty.

#4 Victor Morales, that was his name. The only Democrat I ever voted for. He was a non-insider, and he actually won the Democratic nomination for Senator against Phil Gramm. The Democrats collectively said, "Aw, shit" and deserted him in droves. He lost.

#5 Picking off a couple of Senators each cycle makes the Tea Party one of the predominant forces in American politics. Any other interpretation is just wishful thinking.

#6 The left has attributed all sorts of nasty things to the Tea Party which have not been true. Oh well, success is the best revenge.
