It would be funny if Socialism was as popular as the Tea Party

The numbers don’t lie.
The Percentage of Americans viewing “The Tea Party movement” favorably: 37 percent. The Percentage of Americans with a positive image of “socialism”: 36 percent. (Both sources, Gallup).
As a moderate liberal with pretty darn mainstream views I find this to be one of the funniest things I read today...

Socialist candidate for Senate in Ohio
This is a beautiful statement of what might explain that trend, as our former Ohio News Bureau reporter, now Columbus Government Examiner
, John Spinelli. He elicited the response, below, from Dan LaBotz during an interview about his candidacy for the Senate (also sought by current Ohio SOS Jennifer Brunner, among others).
Frehly-breweed today, it's the first in a series of interviews he's making with candidates of the 2010 election. This is only one question-answer, it's worth the read.
Ohio candidate for U.S. Senate, Buckeye Socialist Dan La Botz, offers vision for 'just society'
I love this: teabaggers are paving the way for a socialist awakening in these United States!!!!

To add insult to their injury
There are still people to the left of the socialists in America. There is no room to go to the right of the Tea Party views. They are about as far right as you can get considering Birchers and others that make up their movement.
