Tea Party members hate Wall Street bailouts, trade deals like NAFTA, job outsourcing,
giant corporations buying laws, government spending, and elites telling the rest of us what to do. 
But there is no question that their candidates - many of them wealthy corporatists themselves
 - are funded by big corporations (even foreign oil companies) and Wall Street. So the question is,
 once in Congress will they vote with their base or their owners? And when they vote with the people
 who bought them, what will Tea Party members do about it?

Labor holds nose, backs former foes - Glenn Thrush - POLITICO.com

Big Labor’s big threat to punish misbehaving Democrats has largely evaporated in the heat of the midterms,
 as unions now scramble to rescue incumbents they once pilloried for opposing health care reform.
It’s a bitter, but necessary, political pill, considering that would-be Speaker John Boehner,
 the top Republican in the House, has threatened to roll back many of the pro-union policies
 of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) -- Outside the Conway-Paul debate, a Rand Paul supporter 
pulled the woman's blonde wig off and stomped on her head.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) was a fierce critic of the federal bailout of General Motors
 and Chrysler last year, saying he could not "ask the American taxpayer to subsidize failure."
But GM doesn't seem to hold a grudge.
