If you're in a so-called "blue" state, you should vote Tea Party for federal office.
The stated objective of the Tea Party is to reduce the government to its sole two duties: treaties and other international deals associated with the State department, and securing our safety with the Defense department. Our taxes should be cut down to the bare mininum necessary for that arrangement.
If you're in a "blue" state, your state puts more cash into the national treasury than it gets back in federal disbursements. If the Tea Partiers get their way, then Washington, Oregon, New York, Maine, etc., will have more money per capita for the State government to work with, improving health care and roads and all that.
And the Red South will finally have its wish: the feds will leave them alone to sink into the swamps.
Seems like a win-win to me.
