In the story, Lutz notes that Tea Party activists didn't rewrite the rules of politics, but on the margin, they were helpful in defeating Reps. Tommy Merritt (RINO-Longview) and Delwin Jones (RINO or perhaps D-Lubbock) and also played a role in Van Taylor's victory over Mabrie Jackson. Lutz also discussed the impact of gun owners on Jones's defeat by Charles Perry.
