2 parites, 3 parties, 5 parties.. does not matter.. they all have to make coalitions

[Peacetrain]

in order to get things done.. and the more parties there are..the more important the coalitions become.

The tea party is going to fall flat on its keisters because they cannot make coalitions.

Vanderplatts went down in Iowa.. the tea party canidate.

I think these guys (the republicans) are in much deeper trouble in the fall than the media is willing to report.

1. Exactly right

The tea party can't reach anyone but far-right types that already vote Republican every election.

3. The Republican party has some serious splits in it.. serious splits

4. it's fun watching Tea Party Nation and the Tea Party Express fight each other...

.... they aren't even in power and they're already doing it ... usually you wait until you hold ACTUAL governmental office to do that.

5. the only coalition you need to 'get things done'

in washington is the one with big corporations.
