The tea party is not a political party, it is an ideal. Scott Brown was definitely a tea party phenomenon because he was MORE CONSERVATIVE than his challenger.
Thats all it takes to be tea party, whether your opponent is Rebublican, Democrat or whatever.
You know what's funny? By the standards of some FReepers, this makes the Tea Parties a bunch of dirty RINOs.
