US & UK share oddity in their current politics...

First of all Tea Party Express decided to back a Democrat, despite two more tea-party minded Republicans running for the office in their primary. I have written about it at Daily Caller. Needless to say Idaho based tea party people are less than pleased.

And secondly I have a piece up at PJM about the curious rise of Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats. Not often the so-called "third party" ends up leading the polls two weeks from the general election.
