Did anyone notice that there were no mentions of the Tea Party movement during the prime time speeches at the Republican National convention this week? Remember when Tea Party was everyone’s favorite phrase?
Not a single one of the 38 speakers during the convention’s
key prime time hours has even mentioned the phrase, according to an
examination of their transcripts — a sign both of Romney’s own distance
from the movement and that polls have suggested that voters view the
movement negatively.
At the very least, I expected Tea Party favorite Senator Rand Paul to give a shout out. Nothing.
Things that make you go “hmm…”
