Let me help you with the "facts".....your trying to rewrite history to fit your bias narrative ....federal elections are held in Nov. in even numbered years,....then reps, senators and POTUS take office the following Jan and that would be an uneven year....stay with me now.....so obama would have won the dem's nomination in Sept. of 2008 and the election in Nov. 2008 and then went into office in Jan. 2009.....so you're saying that back in 2007 someone knew obama would get elected more than a year later and formed the Tea Party?...nice try, but no cigar....you're watching too much msnbc
