TEA (political)

I was browsing my sample ballot and much to my supprise there was a candidate with a party affiliation of TEA.

So for those that said they 'might' consider the tea party a valid movement once they appear on the ballot ... there you go

Well, that's very nice, but no such label is formally recognized, even according to the Tea Party's own website:

http://www.teaparty.org/

Reading there, it's still all about the GOP. Smoke and mirrors.

Again, I imagine that if the Tea Party had broken from Team R, they probably would have posted it on their website.

"Their" website? Which one? As far as I know there is no national tea party that is recognized by the various local tea parties.

It seems that you are correct. The site is run by Dale Robertson, who many regional groups have rejected as a leader. This would also seem to indicate that the Tea Party is a long way off from being a party independent of the Republicans.
