hart wants to know, will the tea party candidates be ready to play hardball politics? work with the system and keep some of theirinfence as well? what do you think? i think so. right now that s the only kind of politics they know. socialit s what s led them to ts point of success, so i think you re going to have a lot of them come in and do what many others have done, look, i m going to challenge the status quo, i m going to take on the normal course of business. that s not working particularly well for the american public, the american taxpayer, and i m going to shake things up. i think you re going to see folks work outside the regular order for a while. i think that the process, the cadence of capitol hill and congress will start to temper that a little bit, but you can wet when they first bet when they first get here, they re going to try to shape things up. jenna: we ve never heard tea party candidates, this is the first election we re actually hearing that term. do you buy it
