Tim Kaine on "The Tea Party Devouring the GOP"

"On the federal side...since President Obama was inaugurated, there have been 5 special elections in Congress, and the Democrats have won all 5."

"I think that that issue about the federal races, there is one factor that I think is really important going into 2010, and that was the factor of the GOP fighting, the tea party devouring the GOP."

"...on the Republican side, we see a party that is narrowing geographically, that is narrowing ideologically, and that is narrowing ideologically."
