GOP hopefuls for Frankel’s seat like tea party’s ideas but not... | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

Lois Frankel and Patrick Murphy appear to be in the catbird seat as they head towards the November elections. Click title for link for a description of some of Frankel's potential challengers. They are choosing their words carefully in describing themselves.
"While emceeing a candidate forum last week, Boca Raton Republican Club President Joe Budd asked the three GOP candidates if they think there’s 'a rightful and constructive place in the next Congress for the tea party and the positions they hold near and dear.' All three answered cautiously."
[later in the article, George Bennett reported...]
"McGee [Andrea Leigh McGee] didn’t utter the words 'tea party' in her response."
"I [McGee said as quoted by George Bennettl] believe there is always something to be gained from intelligent, well-meaning, well-mannered discussion and debate, and that is what we need to encourage, not only in this party but in Congress as a whole and in this country as a whole," McGee said. "The pigeonholing and ‘I’m this, you’re that, we can’t talk because we’re not on the same team’ mentality is what is dividing us and in the Republican Party costing us elections.”
