Despite the progress the group has made, it remains mostly a punch line and the source of Rachel Maddow’s ire or Glenn Beck??s giddiness. Sure, in recent weeks, politicians have been warned by political observers to ignore the Tea Party at their own risk. But save for a handful of conservative congressmen and a certain former governor who received $100,000 to headline their convention, most still do.
