A WISE MAN'S PREDICTION:
Palin will start speaking at Tea Party Rallies around the country.
NEW JERSEY: Thousands take part in ‘tea party’ protest against high taxes in Morristown.
TEXAS: Sen. Cornyn booed at Capitol “tea party”. “‘You’re the problem,’ a crowd member hollered.”
Also, Thousands attend America’s Tea Party protest at Southfork Ranch.
NEVADA: Fourth of July Marked with Tea Party in Reno: “The tea party, in which ‘tea’ stands for ‘taxed enough already,’ was one of five held in Nevada on Saturday and was organized locally by Republican Debbie Landis. Landis estimated 3,000 people participated through the course of the day.”
MASSACHUSETTS: Pride, concern share stage at Quincy Tea Party Freedom Celebration.
Also, ‘Tea Party’ crowd fills center of Hanoverton.
SOUTH CAROLINA: Tea Party protesters rally against big government, massive spending.
INDIANA: Hundreds show up in rain for second local tea party.
IDAHO: T.E.A. Party In Idaho Falls.
ARKANSAS: TEA Party Packs Bomber Stadium.
MICHIGAN: Genesee TEA Party holds Independence Day tax protest, plans campaign against Hurley millage.
MINNESOTA: Tea Party calls for less government, people’s rights.
FLORIDA: Apopka TEA Party Has Big Turnout.
NEW MEXICO: TEA Party Rally Focuses On Nation’s Values.
CONNECTICUT: Norwich tea party protest draws 500.
This is just what was at the top of Google News under “tea party” this morning. Nothing systematic about it. But as Michael Silence notes below, it’s a widely distributed phenomenon.
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.
