I don't think Kingston is a true teabagger, but he is pandering to them. And anyone that is backed by Michelle freakin Bachman is suspect.

Plus, the teabaggers really don't like purdue, and the GA Republican machine are not too comfortable with him because it is harder for him to be bought off.

So, logic goes this way:

1. Possibly less of a threat to democracy if he wins the general
2. Traditional conservatives and teabaggers not jazzed about him and may stay home or vote liberterian as a protest.
3. Rich white dude vs. Michelle Nunn in the General

It's still a close call.
