Pittsburgh Tea Party Draws a Respectable Crowd. What Next?

The Pittsburgh version of the April 15th Tea Party drew thousands, according to the Wall Street Journal bloggers. The national media event seemed to preoccupy the news channels during the day with many clips of predictable interviews. What it signified was that there is a substantial and vocal opposition to TARP and other rescue/stimulus programs that was evident in polls but has been slow to get organized. This may be just a blow-off-steam media event or the first step in a political movement to take back the Congress and the White House. The next test will be whether leaders emerge. Patrick Toomey, who just announced his much expected rematch for the Republican nomination against Senator Spector, would like to be one of those leaders.

What do you think will happen? Back Talk Requested.
