Tea Party backing the wrong candidate?

From Eric Dondero:

In a stunning role reversal, the Colorado Republican candidate for US Senate, viewed as the more moderate of the two primary candidates, is siding with Tom Tancredo. The former Colorado Congressman said at a picnic rally last Thursday, that Obama was a greater threat to America than the former Soviet Union, or even Al Qaeda.

Ken Buck, the Tea Party favorite in the Senate primary was reserved. He was in attendence at the rally. Afterwards, he commented to a local reporter that although he is friends with Tancredo, he tends "to exaggerate" at times.

For her part, Norton released a statement on her Facebook page (via Fox 31 KDVR - Denver):

"There was a real measure of truth to what Tancredo said. Obama is spending this country into bankruptcy. Admiral Mullen said our debt is a greater threat than terrorism. It's time to end the culture of political correctness.

"Obama's brand of big government is a threat to America."
