I think this Clawson guy had given money to Stabenow of Michigan in the not so distant past…..I hope to be wrong, but I think this may be a case where the TP folks glomed onto a guy simply because he had never held office before. I mean, that’s a good thing, but sometimes TP folks jump too quick. I hope that is not the case here. But Stabenow? Really?

re: The race divided national Tea Party icons, though, as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., backed Clawson while former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed Florida state Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, who received about 16 percent of the vote.

I think a chink in Mrs Palin’s armor is the fact that she damn near always will endorse the woman in any race. Sometimes the woman is not the best man in the race.

I seriously doubt this is the first primary election of 2014 where a Tea Party organization “claimed victory”.

In fact, I know its not, since a bunch of deranged Illinois Tea Party groups were “claiming victory” when socialist combiner Bruce Rauner won the primary for Governor.
