There is nothing new about teabaggers.

Teabagging is not a movement; it’s a publicity campaign. As a publicity campaign, it has succeeded: it’s attracted and distracted the media most skillfully.

As a movement, it is the same old elitist, corporatist, odiously-Southern-strategic right wing grounds dressed up in new flow-through bags.

From the Denver Post:

Tea Party activists have stormed the GOP state assembly, scrutinized candidates at forums across Colorado and regularly protested policies and politicians they dislike since first splashing into the political pool about 15 months ago.

What they haven’t done is deliver more voters to the GOP ranks, which have instead dwindled a bit and left the much-hyped movement’s impact on the general election even less clear.
