http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/sep/15/christine-odonnell-media-reactionI am not underestimating the Tea Party. There is a lot of anger in this country, and their members are getting involved. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in November.
Also on politics, although not the Tea Party, I read an article recently saying England is going to be changing its electoral system. It was part of the deal forming the coalition government. The article speculated that it might lead to the U.S. finally junking the electoral college. In a way that's hard for me to believe, since small states will presumably fight to keep it and prevent a 75% plurality, but what a stupid system. I did not know that it goes back hundreds of years, to the Catholic church in Venice.
