John Bolton to Join up with Tea Party
Talking Point Memo reports:
Former Bush-era UN Ambassador John Bolton has teamed up with the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition to launch the "Election Day Tea Party" this week, an effort to galvanize voters in districts where a Republican candidate could potentially unseat an incumbent Democrat.
Michael Patrick Leahy, founder of the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition, told TPM that Bolton "shared common values" with the Tea Party Coalition, then "asked us to participate in the project and we were very happy to have him support it."
The Election Day Tea Party site lists "The Top 50 Races YOU Can Help to Win," pointing out both the Democratic incumbent and the Republican challenger. "These incumbents," the site says, "in many cases voted for both the Stimulus and Obamacare. Of the 435 races currently underway for the control of your seats in Congress, these are the 50 contests where your individual efforts can help the challengers win."
