Meet Jeffrey Clark. He is the teabagger challenging Tom Perriello, one of the most principled members of Congress (yay!). He is running as an independent in protest to the Republican nominee, Robert Hurt, who is seen as a compromiser and moderate because he once voted for a tax increase that a Democratic governor called for and because he has requested $150 million in earmarks over the course of his career as a state senator (they're not called that in the state government, but that's what they are). Understandably, to some teabaggers this makes Hurt unacceptably liberal, and hence the Clark candidacy.
Here's a fascinating thing about Jeffrey Clark. He and his family have filed for bankruptcy and have long struggled with debt, often having wages garnished by creditors. The reason: Crippling medical bills. They don't have health insurance.
In other words, the teaparty candidate is a walking billboard ad for Obama's healthcare reform.
