Two extraordinarily important political developments took place this week right under the noses of the Obama-worshippers in the Mainstream Media and, as so often happens with the real news, most of them barely knew about it, if at all.

First, there was the record number of attendees - 8,500+ - at the Conservative Political Action Conference and the stem-winding, in-your-face, hour-and-20-minute speech by Rush Limbaugh that sent them back to their communities. Second, there were Tea Party Protests in cities big and small, coast-to-coast.

These two events are critically important because they tell us that Barack Obama's greatest advantage - the historic nature of his candidacy - is no longer the Star Trek Shield that protects him against all critical evaluation.

And, as examples of the flash crowd phenomena, the Tea Party Protests are graphic proof that the Right is beginning to get it concerning New Media and its capacity to focus political movements.
