Shouldn't they be more than just old enough?
Steve Benen thinks that the lack of qualifications to run for Senate seat does not mean you should have unqualified candidates. He uses a simple comparison to make his point.
If someone needs medical attention, they don't usually think, "All these doctors with their highfalutin science; who needs 'em?"Still it would not be a bad idea to let Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle fly with a pilot who shares their values and qualifications.
If someone needs to fly from one airport to another, they don't usually think, "I don't care if the pilot has years of training; I care if he/she is in touch with my values."

Some of the teabaggers will undoubtedly gain office. Inevitably they will be ineffective for the district they represent, but will be another R vote. That is all the right wing cares about at the moment.
What the R's are concerned about is that the teabaggers will lose seats more moderate candidates might have won, so the R's will not gain as many votes as they had hoped.
