Dick Armey, FreedomWorks chairman, was in Philadelphia last night for a “Get Out The Vote” rally, a part of the “GOTV” series happening nationwide, and spoke with Battle ‘10 about his group’s post-election strategy and predictions for election night.

Battle ‘10 also has video of Armey’s remarks earlier in the evening to an audience of local activists and enthusiasts. Armey delivered a vignette on the “audacity of big government” in education, and, provocatively, made the case that the Tea Party movement’s “moment of conception” (its birth being Rick Santelli’s famous rant) came in 2004 when President Bush endorsed “liberal” Arlen Specter over then-challenger Pat Toomey in the Republican primary.
