More of the same - or is the tea party more than the GOP establishment's re-brand?
Feeling betrayed by the Republican Party and its leaders, tea party groups in Ohio appear to be uniting and moving toward either a split from the GOP or action to punish Republican candidates who fail ideological purity tests.
A series of events, culminating with the April 26 election of Matt Borges as chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, spurred a flurry of meetings and conference calls among tea party leaders last week to plot a course of action heading into the 2014 statewide election.... Zawistowski said he made it clear that if the state GOP did not focus on enacting conservative policies, we would either find a political party to join or we would start one of our own, saying his meeting with Shrader is the first step in that process.
