* Tea party activists could pose a threat to Republicans if they choose to back third-party candidates this fall, Karl Rove told USA Today.
* Activists from Brockton, Mass., met with Ben Bernanke and asked him to prevent foreclosures on mortgages the Fed owns. The Boston Herald reports that the citizens had agreed in advance to keep the Federal Reserve chair's comments private.
