I tend to agree with roachboy.
I don't think traditional conservative touchstone (ie, social) issues are going to be as electrifying to the 'middle of the road' voters as they have been in the past. The economic situation is too dire, recent domestic events too alarming. I believe this 'tea party mandate' business is going to backfire on them. Big time. At least it better.
