The tea party movement...

...now outpolls the Republicans and the Democrats. From David Brooks's column today:

According to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 41 percent of Americans have a positive view of the tea party movement. Only 35 percent of Americans have a positive view of the Democrats and only 28 percent have a positive view of the Republican Party.

This phenomenon is completely driven by the recession. It reminds me a lot of the Perotistas back in the 1990s. Once prosperity returns, the tea partiers will fade back into the woodwork.

Whatever happened to Ross Perot, anyway?
