Tea 2 Da Bag

From Fox News/Opinion Dynamics (PDF):

43. Would you be willing to join a symbolic tea party to protest excessive government spending on April 15?

Yes No (Don't know)

31 Mar-1 Apr 09 36% 58 6

Democrats 29% 65 6
Republicans 47% 48 5
Independents 29% 63 8

So, with a metro area of a very 50/50 purple area of Tennessee with a population of ~1,000,000, I would expect ~360,000 locals to have answered this question in the affirmative, if asked. Accounting for the fact that people in general notoriously lie about how involved they are in politics, I would still expect to see at least 100,000 teabaggers on state capitol grounds on April 15th.

I'll be there, with cameras, to document the reality.

UPDATE: HAW!
