Another sign tparty movement is in decline.. Marine/Pool hall operator/teabagger loses runoff in AL
A mainstream Republican has rolled past a tea party activist in the GOP runoff for a southeast Alabama congressional seat that Republicans hope to reclaim. Montgomery City Councilwoman Martha Roby was drawing 61 percent in the unofficial count in the 2nd Congressional District GOP runoff Tuesday against Rick Barber. He's a former Marine who operates a Montgomery pool hall that hosts tea party meetings.

I can only imagine what a Teabagger meeting at a pool hall run by a Marine in Alabama could look like.

1. I think the teabaggers are in for a surprise in November
They all seem to think that they will replace everyone with their candidates in November, but it doesn't look likely to happen.

2. He was the whack job with the "Gather Your Armies"
Ads with actors dressed as Washington, Lincoln & other historical American figures.

Dang, kind of too bad - his ads would've been fun to skewer and make Tea Partiers look even more looney.

3. Did Sarah Palin give her blessing to this one? If so, another
one for the loss column.
