*** In case your are interested, the teabagger people who came out of the wilderness because of prodding by Fox News, have started their own party. It appears that the teabaggers, or "Tea Party" as they call themselves, has created a slate of candidates. They have their own website. Listed on the Tea Party site you can find their candidate for Ohio's 15th district, David Ryon.
