[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1341963, member: 249"] I think you have it backwards, the Republican establishment wished there was no tea party within its ranks. They have been fighting secretly in the background to undermine tea party candidates everywhere they arise, and even have been quoted saying they would like to "punch those tea party bullies in the nose". Tea party candidates don't get the same monetary support from the establishment as non tea party candidates even when promised that they would, and in some cases establishment candidates have taken a scorched earth approach to tea party primary victories by attempting to split the vote in the republican ranks to help the democrat win. The tea party itself is the antithesis to the gravity produced by the the status quo in washington, and behind the scenes there is a lot of crying and gnashing of teeth in republican establishment offices today over this win.
