I dont trust that 58% number...Ive seen other polls that tell a much different story...about the popularity of the teaparty....The gop is worried about it because im constantly getting poll questions via email from my Rep and Sen and the state GOP....yes im still a registered republican...but only because ive been to lazy to go get the form and switch to independent...
