The elections in 2012 could get interesting if the Rand Paul (Tea Party) version of spending cuts gets much airplay on cable. I suspect most Republicans will not dwell on cuts to seniors programs.

There's really no way for most of the GOP's elected under the tea party mantra to be re-elected if they manage to do what they said they'll do. Seniors vote and they won't like what they voted for this time.
