How did the Tea Party wave happen in a McCain victory?

How did the Tea Party wave happen in a McCain victory?

Yeah, we all know the Tea Party was just sore loser McCain voters throwing a hissy fit that the black guy won. If they genuinely cared about any of the issues they professed to, it would've emerged during Dubya's administration.

[This account no longer in use.]

Depends on McCain's popularity. If he was relatively liked by moderates and swing voters, but disliked by the right, the Tea Party could definitely emerge.
