Tea-Party Activists Complicate Republican Comeback Strategy - WSJ.com

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. -- The rise of conservative "tea party" activists around
the country has created a dilemma for Republicans. They are breathing life
into the party's quest to regain power. But they're also waging war on some
candidates hand-picked by GOP leaders as the most likely to win.

"Tea Party" Voters Present Challenge for GOP - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

The disaffected sentiment of conservatives who joined in the protests this
summer has been embraced by personalities like Glenn Beck, who has gained
a strong following from both his Fox News TV show and nationally-syndicated
radio program. Last month, Beck told CBS News' Katie Couric that he believes
the country would have been worse off with Republican Sen. John McCain as
president than it is with Mr. Obama.

During the interview, Beck told Couric his viewers "don't care about the
parties, they care about their life... They say, 'the Republicans have
betrayed me, the Democrats have betrayed me... I don't see an exit strategy
here.'"
