Why do the established Repubs think the TB'er's will vote for them??
...in the next election?

How many of them are viewed the same way as Mike Castle and Bob Bennett were viewed before they went down to defeat? Can they really rely on the Tea Party if they are centrists or someone that might have agreed with Barack Obama on an issue? Can they be trusted to vote for the established Republican?
I don't think so.

I don't think the Democratic establishment has the same problem? The Tea Party is serious about who they vote for, in my opinion. If a few of the established Repubs say the wrong thing between now and election, they could lose the vote of these "new" Republicans. I bet they are walking on eggshells...

1. Because they still think the same way Dems do about the left
"Who else ya gonna vote for, the Dems?" Well, the teabaggers are proving them wrong.

Frankly I think we need that sort of uprising from the left as well. It would do our body politic good.
