Did the bus carrying professional tea baggers break down on the way to this rally, or something?

If she was white, she would get a lot more Tea Party support.

Jindal is not Hindu. He converted to Catholicism to get votes. He also doesn't go by his real name which is Piyush. Piyush Jindal the Hindu would never have won in the South. Nikki Haley's real first name is Nimrata. She also converted to Christianity to advance her political career. They had to whitewash themselves to have a chance of winning in the good ole boy Evangelical South.

Tough week for Tea Party ends with fizzling rally - S.C. Politics - TheState.com (http://www.thestate.com/2011/05/20/1825938/tough-week-for-tea-party-ends.html - broken link)

You would think in blood-red SC there would be more than this for a turnout.
Was there a reason to come out for that person in person at this time?

These Tea Party folks probably mostly have jobs and work and you will not see them unless there is a major demonstration or voting booth to be at.
