Tea party voters are probably less than half of primary voters, and they vote for various candidates. So, tp influence yes, but not decisive. Last time in gop primary polls romney got strong support among self described conservatives. Some polls had mitt leading among conservatives.
Either pawlenty or Perry wins in nh, or romney is the nominee.
It’s good of you to be hopeful - seems so Republican to me.
I really believe that those that turn out for primaries will be majority Tea Party (enough to sway the vote) so your hopes may be dashed. I really don’t want to see another RINO running for President - we already had McCain. Sometimes it seems not to matter who is elected if they are not going to change things in Washington.
If you are right, then yes, I hope Romney wins over Obama...however, if that happens, we may not be any better off. My opinion of course...
