South Carolina Tea Partiers don't much like Mitt Romney, the Massachusetts moderate, but they seem willing to vote for him
If 300-plus black political activists held a convention in the Deep South, and the invited speakers were black, it would inevitably, and correctly, be referred to as a black political event. So I'm going to call the Tea Party convention I just covered in Myrtle Beach, S.C., what it was: a white political event.
The attendees were friendly, polite and deeply committed to the cause of imposing a no-compromise conservative agenda on the U.S. government and the Republican party in particular. But, in a state that's 30 per cent black, there wasn't a single black face at the event. Or any young faces that I could see.
The rest...

Personally I prefer it when all the crazy extremist right-wingers stick together in a visible group... easier for everybody to see how nuts they really are.
