South Carolina proves that the Tea Party is alive and well – and calling the shots

Just three days ago, many pundits were writing the obituary of the Tea Party. The unstoppable rise of Mitt Romney and the hopeless divisions within the conservative field seemed to suggest that the radical grassroots movement had passed away. The UK’s Guardian newspaper (a sort of Pravda for public sector workers) was gleeful. Ewen MacAskill wrote, “The noise and energy associated with the Tea Party since it exploded on to the US political scene three years has been stilled, overshadowed in recent months by the youthful enthusiasm of the Occupy Wall Street protesters.” He put this down to an “improvement in the economy” but mostly the Tea Party’s “inability to agree on a candidate to support for the Republican nomination.” The movement was over and its supporters were an irrelevance. The Tea Party was dead – long live the Beltway Cocktail Hour!
