USA you have two political parties
The Republicans and theDemocrats
But the last few years there is a new movement called the Tea Party, The Tea Party are series of protests running a cross the country. And it seems that there is a lot of power in this movement. One example is the primary race for the Alaska´s senate, Where Senator Lisa Murkowski just barely lost the race, and its now seen as a real as whipping. It was the conservative lawyer Joe Miller which was backed by the Tea Party who give Lisa the chocking loss, and it seems that this is going to be the way how the election in 2010 will turn out.
Murkowski´s loss seems to be even more worries, conservatives loves what they see in Miller, he is also a newbie in politics which is why he was backed by the Tea party and that he also is more conserative then his RINO (Republican by name only) oposition. Miller is also a Bronze Star veteran from the first gulf war in the early 90´s and as said never been doing politics before.
When the loss of Lisa Murkowski happened it was clear to all, even for the Republicans that they couldn´t ignore the force that is Tea Party, they helped a politicial nobody beat a senator thats been working as a politician for several years.
The elections in the USA will be intresting to follow this year.
