I found this article to be interesting because it really relates to my home area. The western states that are generally more democratic now seem to be leaning closer and closer towards the GOP. This tea-party movement is contributing largely to this, which has caused the Democratic Party to start going on defense for these states. The race discussed in this article is that for senate, which is close in several states. This election could swing the majority in the Senate, from Democratic to Republican.
The tea-party political movement seems to be making a big effect in politics right now. It will be interesting to see the results of these elections because it is hard to say just how “successful” this movement really is. If it isn’t so successful it may lead to its downfall, but on the other hand a big impact may lead to the tea-party becoming a major influence in our generation of politics.
