The U.S. House of Representatives last year became the spiritual home of the Tea Party, which helped elect dozens in the 2010 Republican landslide. Success in the Senate was limited.

In 2013, the Senate may become the Tea Party’s cathedral.

In my latest column, I lay out what has become of the Tea Party-backed representatives. This year, Tea Party activists are winning Republican Senate primaries and are favored to win seats in the fall. They include Ted Cruz in Texas, Deb Fischer in Nebraska and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. Primaries over the next 10 days in Missouri and Wisconsin could catapult others.

That Secret Service guy looks happy like he is smiling at something Romney said or is doing.

I believe most of the Secret Service would be grateful to have sane adults back in the Whitehouse.

I’m an optimist , admittedly, but if you can’t visualize your goals (the way things you want things to be) then they won’t happen.

If my dream plan fails, I’ll be begging Sarah to reactivate.
