Is the tea party movement on the verge of more big political wins? On the eve of Tuesday's 10-state primary, two of the tea party's best-known candidates are surging in final polls and appear to be in good shape to win their respective GOP nominations.

Great news. This virtually assures Harry Reid's reelection.
As for the tea party, the news isn't all peaches and cream:
Quote:
The poll also finds growing disapproval of the "tea party" movement, with half the population now expressing an unfavorable impression of the loosely aligned protest campaign that has shaken up politics this year.
And at a time when Republicans anticipate significant gains in House and Senate elections, there is also fresh evidence of the challenges facing the GOP. Six in 10 poll respondents say they have a negative view of the policies put forward by the Republican minority in Congress, and about a third say they trust Republicans over Democrats to handle the nation's main problems.
Meanwhile:
Quote:
Obama's overall approval ratings have remained fairly steady. More than half of those surveyed, 52 percent, say they approve of the way he is handling his job, and for the first time since last fall, half approve of how he is dealing with the economy.
Well, that poll is known for being one of/the most accurate
I cite it only in response to the constant pronouncements by conservatives on this board of Obama's "plummeting" approval ratings over the past year. Now we can see that this was merely wishful thinking.
Looks like not only is his approval rating remarkably stable, but he's much more popular than either the tea party or the GOP. Truly extraordinary, given the economic situation.

November can't come soon enough. I for one, am very excited about this years election. Not cuz there is some stand out candidate, but because it feels like the people are finally pissed off, and paying attention. At least a good chunk are. Enough so, where we may (and I stress may here) be beginning an era of political accountability, and principle. The wave is not relegated to one party, or political office. The wave of discontent is against the percieved establishment. My hope is that true leaders, bound by principle, are put into office to replace the corrupt, and inept, cronies who currently take up space in DC.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."

Proof the WaPo is accurate at all?
A link to support your claim perhaps......
Gallup and Rasmussen were the most accurate last election IIRC.

Since Rasmussen is the most accurate let see where they have Dear Reader these days.
