A very ugly statistic in the Exit Poll

[Renew Deal]

"About four out of 10 voters said they support the tea party movement, and they overwhelmingly voted Republican."

This seems like double the national average as I remember it. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20016526-503544.html

On the other hand, it may be well below average based on this teabagger website: http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=178



I know I'm doing my best Nate Silver, but if 40% support the tea party and they overwhelmingly voted republican, and 71% of republicans support the tea baggers, then this might be very bad. On the other hand, if previous polls contain 54% support for teabaggers, this is very good. I'm taking that 40% number as a bad thing. I think there are a lot of indies and some dems that will vote republican that oppose tea baggers.
