The Blaze Magazine: The death of the Tea Party has been greatly exaggerated

The Republican fight for the presidential nomination is burning up. The election is around the corner. And many Americans are wondering what the Tea Party is up to.

Have they lost steam?

Are they asleep -- or dead?

What's their plan?

In the cover story for the April 2012 issue of The Blaze Magazine, "Tea Time," Dave Urbanski examines the state of the Tea Party.

It’s more than a fair question—and one that’s been on more than a few minds of late: Where is the Tea Party?

The Tea Party faithful who initially spread the word and toted the signs are in large part now focusing their energies on behind-the-scenes work--a “tactical precision” way of operating. ...

In many ways, that has translated to efforts at state and local levels, as opposed to the national spotlight the Tea Party enjoyed during the first two years of the Obama administration.
