MAINSTREAMING THE BAGGERS???

A few polls have come out showing that the demographics of Baggers are pretty normal but that's not the real issue, their politics is. As Steve Benen points out, the Baggers are conservatives on the fringe:

While about a third of the nation at large approves of the Republican Party, with the Tea Party crowd, GOP approval is a whopping 71%.

Seventy percent of Tea Party supporters say they're conservative, and only 22% say they're moderate.
