My hope is that the Republican party will fracture, but the sad truth is that there aren't enough moderates left in the party to really do the job. We'll be seeing more and more "conservative independents" that happen to be registered Republican, but the party itself will remain extreme right and radicalized.
You conservatives need to nominate a moderate in 2012. If you go with a complete idiot like Palin, an empty suit like Jindal, a religious radical like Huckabee, or a fucking asshole like Rudy Giuliani, you may lose all 50 states. Ron Paul will run and get electoral numbers in the teens again. Wait... are there moderate Republicans in power?
