Here is the big problem with Tea Party numbers. There are 435 members of the House. There are 100 members of the Senate. Of those 535 congressional members, about 83 are considered Tea Party members. That equates to 15.5% percent of congress. The makeup of congress should give a good rough idea of the voting population.

The 2012 primaries had no Tea Party favorites.
