Lindsey Graham Reads The Tea Leaves

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says that the Tea Party has already lost its punch.

"The problem with the Tea Party, I think it's just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out," said Graham, who has come under fire from the right for being excessively moderate and compromising with Democrats.

Mr. Graham doesn't face re-election until 2014, so he's got some time to see if he's right.
