Teabaggers are the disenchanted McCain/Palin crowd from 2008... they are the EXACT same people. Why else do you think Palin was chosen as the de facto figurehead of this (bowel) movement.
I also want to call bullshit on the media's analysis of the demographics of the teabaggers... adding the 8% democrats to the 43% independents does not equal a disenfranchised democrat or bipartisan movement. When I was younger I registered as an independent because that is the way I wanted to think about myself -- "I'm totally cool. I have no party affiliation. I'm independent." Except, I still voted for democrats. After a while I got over myself and realized that I wanted to vote in the primaries and dismissed the petty notion that choosing a label for myself really made me 'independent'. Did anyone bother to ask the 43% who they voted for in the last few elections? They really should change independent to indecisive.
