State Tea-Party Groups Splinter as Vote Nears

Evergreen Colorado, Tea party has the chance to make a huge push and win at the polls but instead of coming together they start fighting among themselves by accusing each other by saying lack of courage and betrayal. After all this a poll said Colorado had a 33% member participation but once the arguing started it dropped to 23%. The main issue for the fighting is the Tea party split apart on the issue of who they want for Governor. They originally sided with Republican Dan Maes, a self-employed businessman who has no political history. They felt that Dan Maes is the man who would fight the hardest but after questions were brought up about his experience some members changed sides and are supporting Tom Tancredo who is running on a third party ticket. People feel betrayed because of the flop and this will most likely be there undoing.

This relates to politics greatly. In Politics you have two or more sides wanting to win a position in the government. These groups split up the people and make them chose a side. This shows how politics can make people flop and switch sides. If the questions about Dan Maes never appeared the Tea Party would still be behind him in full strength but instead you have politics, people trying to switch people over to one's side so in result the Tea Party has been split.

The Tea party will make itself lose this election for Governor. You cannot expect to win if your forces are split apart when one's enemy is at full strength. If they want to win they must come together. After the political participation in the tea party dropped from 33% to 23% I feel like they should just start getting ready for the next election and work on coming together. Only by fighting as one force will show them victory in the polls.
