The Tea Partei's Approval Rating

stands at about 18% thanks to their attempt to wreck western civilization in the debt ceiling fight.
So I don't see how this advantages the GOP in general and the candidacies of Rick Perry OR Michele Bachmann should either of them get the nomination.
Pretty much the public perception seems to be, the Tea Partei was perfectly willing to touch off a new recession just to get at Barack Obama.
With Mitt Romney it's a different story, he has been waffling and hedging bout the Tea Partei from day one. Then again there is a lot of covert sectarian prejudice in the certain reaches of the GOP, some observers think Perry's appearance at a prayer rally last week was a subtle rebuke to Romney's Mormonism.
So you've got the hammer of the Tea Partei's unpopularity into the anvil of the religious right's electoral and sectarian prejudices. ANd not a single ballot has been cast as yet....
