Ask Not For Whom the Teabag Tolls

I thought the next teabagger scalp was going to be Charlie Crist in Florida. But it turns out it’s Carly Fiorina out in California. That according to arch-Tea Party Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who held a conference call last night with RedState.com’s Erick Erickson.

Barbara Boxer’s decision to put these two on the payroll seems to be paying real dividends.

(ed.note: To be clear, DeMint’s group has already endorsed Rubio in Florida. But it seems the tea bag hunger to take down Fiorina is growing apace.)
