Because almost everything said about them is non-policy related. Almost every talking point is how people are angry, or disillusioned and turn towards a new kind of republican. But almost never is this "new" kind of party and their new ideas talked about. Frankly the teaparty people tend to run the gambit of the nutty and the religious conservative blandness. Most appear ill prepared for public service or worse no real interest in it beyond the future lobbying fees. The biggest freaks are getting laughed at, yet almost all the candidates are laughably bad on the Teaparty side. The end all and be all is few are talking real policy (or talking). Seriously beyond non-stop commercials most have retreated to Faux only coverage and never on policy. So I'm going with no. They aren't pushing the conversation right, instead conservatives are doing everything possible to ignore the political conversation now, sans blaming Obama for all the stuff that wasn't done because they blocked it in the senate. But they don't want you to know THEY blocked it in the senate. This year is the year of the non-political conversation, political conversation.
