Not in my mind. Au contraire, as with the progressives of a hundred years ago, success will come by co-opting, not replacing, the structures of at least one of our major political parties. Love it or hate it, the deck is stacked in this country in favor of 2 parties. And unless you are just absolutely high on crack, can there be any doubt of the target party for Tea Partyers? Still, the question arises- What does one do when there's a less than ideal Republican, somewhat doubtfully committed to Tea Party principles, who is nonetheless clearly less bad than her opponent? Well, life is full of choices. My choice in this case-punch the ticket for the possibility that Meg can be the California version of this guy. Doesn't change the fact thought that my favorite girl Republican Silicon Valley CEO this year is named Carly.
Now, this begs the question of how to approach a decision in a primary. But... seeing how we're now in August and not June, we'll have to leave that one to the residents of Delaware. I think I'm in love.
