YUP: IT'S A GROWING MOVEMENT.
UPDATE: 8+ hours after we posted this Glenn Reynolds has opne of his longest posts EVAH on the same subject - PALIN and the TEA PARTY movement, only Glenn attacked the subject from a different angle: that Palin might co-opt the Tea Party movement and make it a Third Party.
WE DISAGREE.
We think she will galvanize the movement and make it an influential libertarian wing of the GOP.
Shannyn Moore is spooked. She's (falsely) claiming Palin wants to sue her for simply spreading rumors that have been around AK for years and that everyone talks about...the point being that if she's guilty of that, then so is everyone else. What a weasel she is.
