Certainly the Tea Party helped fuel the anti-establishment flames, but I'm not sure it was the Tea Party as much as it was poor turnout among young voters (down 60 percent from 2008) and independents frustrated with Obama's inability to clearly articulate the value of his policies.

I think had the unemployment rate dropped just a bit things could have looked a lot different.
