    Yeah, that sounds about right.

    Actually, Tea-baggers are wealthier and more educated than the average-American. It is not that they do not have status and want it. It is, apparently, that they have status and don't want to lose it…

    Only problem is the article only analyzed self-proclaimed "supporters" in general. Only 20% of "supporters" are supportive enough to have actually donated or demonstrated for the cause (~4% of the American public), and nobody broke down the demographics of the Palin-lovin' sign-toters (who are what most folks think of when they think "teabagger").

    All those nice, old, educated, middle-class malcontents are letting the sign-waving rabble give them an image problem, I guess.

    (I'd also like to thank NYT for not letting me copy & paste anything from the article, ffs.)
