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.

i disagree with that. the religious right isn't going to leave a centrist republican ticket and vote for a dem. instead of republicans pandering to the far right, they should be moving to the center-something they always seem to demand of the party across the aisle. the party both sides need to attempt to please are all of us who don't affiliate ourselves with a party. independents were who forced a change in massachusettes; that should be a wakeup call to both parties.
