Inside the numbers:
We're finding in swing state after swing state after swing state that the Tea Party brand is probably not one Republican candidates want to embrace next year, at least if they want to win. It's not a turnoff with independent voters in North Carolina but where it hurts is with conservative Democrats. A Republican generally needs to win in the neighborhood of 25% of the Democratic vote to be successful statewide- but only 13% of Democrats respond positively to the Tea Party label while 75% consider it a negative. Just another data point showing that movement may have peaked in 2010.
