Why the TEA PARTY will eventually support Romney.
Tweety had the Tea Party Leader on Hardball on Friday.
After much discussion, TPLeader says to Chris, "You
are missing our strategy.....THE SENATE. We are focused
on winning the Senate, keeping the House. If we have
Senate and House, the President(Romney) does what we
want. He explained that they would be happy if a
"real" conservative wins the Primary but it is
more important that they get more Tea Party members
in both bodies. This way they rule. In other words
they will get behind Romney if he wins the Primary.

Chris, In other words, you will control him.(Romney)

I hope the Democratic Senators are not waiting until
the last minute to campaign. They should be campaigning
right now. Their opposition is.

2. MONEY = The real reason.
Money runs the tea party movement now. Tons of fat cats and corporations. Of course they will support the eventual nominee and try to keep any fracturing of the movement squashed.

3. Because they have always in the past and will continue in future
to vote the straight Republican ticket in every major election. The teabaggers are no "protest" group. THEY'RE REPUBLICANS.

4. Mitt
Romney might be a heathen cultist, but he is, for chrissakes white.

5. They still won't
People are apathetic towards Romney in conservative circles. They talk a good game, but he wouldn't win no matter who is his VP. He might be able to squeak by as someone's VP, but never the way around.
