Scott Brown

 

The "Tea Party" circuit seemed to have cooled a bit until recent happenings. The Massachusetts election for a seat in the U.S. Senate went to Republican Scott Brown — a seat long held by the late Democrat Sen. Ted Kennedy. And Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska, rallied the "partiers" during their "convention." Now Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has embraced the Tea Party movement.
