The St. Louis Tea Party - Big wheels nationally, impotent at home

The Tea Party in St. Louis has some very prominent names on the national scene:  Hoft, Loesch, Hennessey. But their prodigious national influence didn't extend to their own home town.  In this Tuesday's local elections virtually every tax increase on the ballot passed.  St. Louis voters dug themselves deeper into the loser hole.  Not long ago, St. Louis was one of the top 10 metro areas in the nation.  Now it is in the process of falling out of the top 20.

In Texas the leaders focus on saving their state and then the nation.  Maybe we can get some leaders like that.
