I think the above comments form Lori nail it, (except it's, "spend like a Republican" when you look at the last 40-60 years ,g>) but I can't see them damping down the religious right - they needed it for any win in the past 10 years.
We just have to see what happens with the various Tea Baggers - if they collapse totally (kind of what it looks like right now), or if they (any one of the groups, there are several and they are all infighting) can muster up candidates for 2010. The GOP is already scared the Baggers will take votes from the right candidate, like what happened in New York Congressional District loss.
