Rand Paul has a lot at stake in NC with his endorsement of Brannon. If the establishment candidate wins it doesn’t portend good news for Paul. If the tea baggers are really serious about being more populist and grassroots and not pretend grassroots than they will have to show up for Brannon. So far the establishment GOP candidates are winning. The same goes for Georgia candidates. The tea party is in a lot of trouble if their preferred candidate does not make the runoff. It looks like the tea party is turning into weak tea.
