Early Morning Swim: Rachel Maddow — Is Ron Paul Being Targeted by Tea Partiers?

In yesterday’s Swim, I linked to this story in the Dallas Morning News.

Tea Party associations aside, many of the challengers’ criticisms echo concerns of Paul’s past opponents: that he is too focused on his national ambitions; that his views are too extreme; that he doesn’t support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; that he votes “no” on everything, including federal aid for his district after Hurricane Ike.

“The word I keep hearing is ‘ineffective,’ ” said Gay, a school business administrator. “This district is not really being represented as it could be.”

Yeah, Teabaggers need more effective leaders. Like the Quitter.
