Instapundit on Tea Party Power

Glenn Harlan Reynolds, writing about the success of the Tea Party for the Washington Examiner:
Both political parties are out of touch, and ordinary Americans are very unhappy about it, as they watch the Treasury being looted, the economy sink, and the political, journalistic, and financial ruling-class figures escaping the consequences of their ham-handed and self-serving actions.
Known for his blog Instapundit, Reynolds makes the point that the GOP, if handed control of the Congress in NOvember, has two years to demonstrate that they "get it."

If an empowered GOP fails to curb government spending, Reynolds expects to see serious third party candidates in 2012. COTTonLINE has made this same prediction.
