10. The guy in AL wasn't simply Tea Party he was a nutjob.

The VA looks to be a big blue sweep to rational eyes.

To the Tea Party they came within 3 points of electing a real Republican and they were outspent 4 -1.

From their point of view the establishment Republicans sold them down the river one more time. For most of them it means that they have to double down and stomp their feet twice as hard. Others will start to get weary and just start to give up on politics.

No matter what it is, it is not a unifying event, the Republican civil war continues.
