With buzz building out of Heldrich negotiations concerning the possibility of a redistricting-induced matchup between U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman (D-9) and U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett (R-5), Rothman went into vigorous campaign mode, emphasizing his opposition to the Tea Party wing of the GOP.
That happens to be the Garrett wing of the party.
