Tea Partier Set For House Bid
A well-known favorite of the Tea Party movement is planning to announce a House bid Monday, setting up a challenge to an NRCC-favored candidate.
Fox News analyst Angela McGlowan will announce her bid against Rep. Travis Childers (D-MS) today in Oxford. She will face state Sen. Alan Nunnelee (R) and ex-Eupora Mayor Henry Ross (R) in the June 1 primary.
Before announcing her bid, McGlowan addressed the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville this weekend. She strongly hinted at her impending bid and won a quick endorsement from WorldNetDaily editor in chief Joseph Farah, who spoke after her.
McGlowan's candidacy will put the NRCC in an awkward spot. Nunnelee is a highly-touted recruit, and he's already been promoted to the "Contender" tier of the "Young Guns" program. Inclusion among the Young Guns does not denote an endorsement -- several members face each other in primaries -- but the NRCC has long been optimistic about Nunnelee.
"We welcome her to the race. Obviously, Sen. Nunnelee has been in there for a while and has turned out to be one of the best candidates for us this cycle," said NRCC spokesperson Andy Sere. "They'll have a primary, and Northern Mississippi voters will decide."
Privately, GOP sources question how serious McGlowan's candidacy will be. She has been a lobbyist for Steve Wynn's gambling empire -- something that won't be as acceptable to voters in the northern-based 1st district as it would be to voters in the state's gambling-friendly coast.
Plus, she's from the wrong part of the district. Childers represents an area stretching from the Memphis suburbs in the west to Tupelo in the east. McGlowan's base in Oxford is in a less populated area. And GOPers who favor Nunnelee already have opposition research featuring some of McGlowan's past interviews.
McGlowan will make her announcement tour with stops in Corinth, Tupelo, Columbus and Hernando during the week.
Tea Party folks just need to go away. Who cares if she got the endorsement from Joseph Farah who is nothing and just blabs his big mouth when he wants to.
Tea Party! A black, female, candidate, this is great news!!!!! Good luck breaking the stereotypes, and fighting for our constitutional rights!
Just wait till she starts airing her views on the second amendment. She won't have a snowball's chance in hell.
Thanks for another fab article - I enjoyed that!
To "Go Girl!!!", how can you suggest she is fighting for Constitutional rights when she doesn't even understand what the Constitution is for and that the government isn't supposed to do anything it's not allowed to do by the Constitution?
She previously came out and publicly stated she believes everyone in the US should register their firearms, ignoring the lessons of history that registration almost ALWAYS leads to confiscation.

The "Tea Party Convention" is an attempt for the Republican Party (many of them RINOs) to jump in the driver's seat of the Tea Party train long after it left the station without them.
IF THE TEA PARTY HAS THE UNMITIGATED GALL TO BACK THIS BLACK RASCIST SCUM -PRETENDING AS A CONSERV OF ALL THINGS- THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT WILL DIE A DESERVEDLY PROMPT & UNFORGIVING DEATH -right along with her.
SHE IS NO MORE CONSERV THAN BARACK O'! ..NO MORE 'PRO-GUN' THAN CHICAGO's MAYOR DALY!! SHE ALONE WILL SETBACK AMERICA & MISS. 180YRS -IN 1 TERM!!!
"WHERE IS THIS GUY COMING FROM," U MAY BE ASKING. LISTEN TO HER ALMOST UNINTELLIGABLE RAMBLE ABOUT PRO-GOVT & PRO-GUN REGISTRATION - HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNg6jh9oyqg&feature=player_embedded#
DISGRACEFUL!! DROP HER, TEA PARTY - NOW!!! AND MAKE NOT QUALMS ABOUT IT... THIS THROUGHLY-RASCIST GHETTO ATTITUDE MUST END IN THIS COUNTRY - NOW!!! TRUE GRASSROOTS SUPPORTERS R SICK TO VOMIT OF THIS KIND OF MENTALITY. & SICK TO ARMS AS WELL! WE WANT "NOTHING" TO DO WITH IT -EXCEPT SQUASH IT LIKE A BUG... AND MOVE ON WITH A TRUE GRASSROOTS ATTITUDE & CONDIDATE! START BEATIN THE BUSHES... U CAN DO WAAAY BETTER IF U JUST TRY.
IF NOT? BYE-BYE TEA PARTY - FOREVER- AS WELL! U'LL BECOME A BAR ROOM JOKE IN A YEAR.
Heard the u-tube. She's as phoney as N.Y's Bloomberg. Nothing she could possibly do now to 'save face' - except resign with dignity.
If the Tea Party thinks this "thing" is conservative -maybe the Tea Party has been infiltrated by socialist-Libs? Wont be backing them either. Turning my attention back to the Independents. this is a waste of my time, this entire site.
I've bookmarked your site, the articles are way better here than on other blogs.. thanks for a great read!
Hi this is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it in case I get something wrong. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet.
The articles on this website are all amazingly great quality. I could spend literally years going through the articles on this website and never get bored. So anyway just wanted to say and tell you :).
