    There are 100-150 GOP Congressmen who ... [a]re afraid of being "primaried".

I just read a description of a survey which indicated that almost 1/5 of the people who voted Republican in the last election are Tea Partiers and 1/4 are evangelicals. The Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot by appealing to these fringe groups.
