◼ Tea party 2012 effect stirs GOP trepidation - Washington Times
Republicans, once ecstatic about the energy generated by the 2009 anti-spending tea party uprising, are growing increasingly uneasy about the impact in 2012 of a movement that seems beyond the control of anyone, including its own leaders.
“The nature of the tea party and liberty movement is that there really are very few, if any, authoritative spokespersons,” said Ryan Call,Colorado GOP chairman.
“The fact that the grass-roots movement is somewhat leaderless is one of its strengths, but it also makes the movement susceptible to individuals or groups co-opting the ‘tea party label in inappropriate and damaging ways, like we saw in the May 24 New York 26th [Congressional] District special election.”

Noem, one of two freshmen who act as liaisons between House leadership and the 93-member freshman class, echoes some of her colleagues who don't appear intimidated by working in the nation's capital.
"I'm not a freshman. I'm just new in Congress," said Rep. David McKinley, who served in the West Virginia House of Delegates and later as the GOP state party chairman before his election to Congress last year.
Tea Party celebrates despite primary loss to David Williams
◼ The Tea Party “reared its head yesterday, the hard-core grassroots people who want a new direction in Kentucky and in our country” - Times tribune
“We are here to stay,” Sims said. Now, she said, both parties are taking notice and they’ll be reluctant to “marginalize” Tea Party supporters, something she charges Williams with doing.
It’s not just Sims who saw Moffett’s performance as proof of the Tea Party’s influence in Kentucky politics. The pros noticed, too. Read the rest...
