I didn't see Graves as a particularly strong candidate. When you couple that with the demo for that district, things look decidedly bleak for Queen Tea.

Minnesota did give the Tea-Bag movement a shot here for the last 2 years, but as you can see by the results Tuesday night, they didn't like what "the party of no" was all about. If the Tea-Baggers/Repubs continue this way in Washington over the next couple of years, I'm pretty sure we will see the same thing happen there in 2014 as well.
I think we'll see that nationally. Whatever their ideology, Americans want to get things done. All the tea stained Republicans can do is interfere. They have no viable agenda and no respect for the proper role of government.
