The KochFamily funded Tea Party is very good at media ads. There is no indication that the massive amounts of secret money has been successful advancing grassroots, boots on the ground, campaigns. When folks do the old hard work of campaigning like knocking on doors and calling folks to discuss the issues, the Tea Party generally can’t react. Once the Tea Party defeats a more mainstream GOP candidate who might get at least some Democratic votes, spring the trap and work hard to beat them. TJH
