Let's all remember something important: THERE IS NO 'TEA PARTY', per se. It does not exist. There is "Tea Party Express" and "Tea Party Patriots" (who happen to pretty much hate each other) and a massive melange of state and local-based "Tea Party"-themed organizations and clubs.

So how do we handle this? Should there be an official party formed?

In the primaries we work our tails off to get the conservative candidate to the general.

In the general, whoever that candidate is, like it or not, you work your butt off to get that candidate elected.

Or, you get Obama.

I don’t think we need an official Tea Party Organization. The more the merrier. Harder to target or control.
