Tea Party At Its Dregs? Major Convention Attracts Few

What will the media do if they don’t have the Tea Party to play up?

They created noise around the Tea Party with their disproportionate coverage of every little thing they did…

Now the Tea Party appears to be fading….along with Glenn Beck….

Will they finally start paying attention to Progressives?

I somehow doubt it…

Lot’s of good stuff up at ThinkProgress.org today….

With Fox News host Glenn Beck’s ratings down and the biggest tea party rally eclipsed by a recent pro-labor rally in Wisconsin, could the tea party be losing steam? One new sign: a big tea party convention in Tampa, FL this weekend — headlined by such conservative favorites as Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), Fox News Judge Andrew Napolitano, and former GOP Congressman Tom Tancredo — attracted only about 300 people. The Save America Convention’s website lists 25 guest speakers, meaning there was one speaker for every 12 attendees. If one includes the 13 musicians and other performers listed as entertainment, that ratio drops to one for every 7 and a half.
