Pat Quinn's Tea Party Supporters
h/t The Illinois Observer for picking this up from the ABC Exit Polls. 15% of those expressing strong support for the Tea Party Movement voted for Pat Quinn. Quinn's still a rebel, even to some strong Tea Party folks, despite those years of playing ball with Blagojevich.

Here is one possible explanation....
Nearly 30% of African Americans have expressed support for the Tea Party Movement in national polling. Exit polling showed that 59% of Illinois voters disapproved of the Republican party on Election Day. The Republican Party brand is badly damaged - even more so in the African American community. African Americans support the Tea Party Movement more than they support Republicans. They couldn't bring themselves to vote for Brady because he's a Republican.
Thanks Steve...interesting take. I think you might be right.
