The piece argues the Tea Party movement shapes GOP campaigning in 2010 with signals of potential GOP gains in November. It cites Marco Rubio in Florida, Bob Bennett in Utah, and John McCain facing a primary challenge, while polls show broad voter dissatisfaction with Obama and Democrats, hinting at a possible Republican takeover unless voter sentiment shifts. Morton Kondracke, Roll Call executive editor, frames the analysis.
