Hey, Chas -
You clearly have a perspective on and knowledge of these people that I don't. Would you mind giving me a rundown on what some of those concerns might be?
Every day, it seems, a new Tea Party candidate appears, either to challenge an incumbent Republican or to run as a third party candidate. I can't even figure what these people are running on beyond allegiance to Glenn Beck.
You've got one in your neck of the woods. A former aide to Dick Armey, Liz Lauber, wants to unseat Todd Akin in Missouri's 2nd District. Her entire platform seems to be about reducing taxes.
