When Obama wins re-election, conservative heads will explode all over this country & the crack in the Republican Party will expand - maybe to the breaking point.
If the monied Republicans are smart, they'll keep funding Faux News & the affiliated pundits that control talk radio. They should let the conservatives who've their exploded heads go off into the wilderness - even though I live near one of those enclaves. They & the talkers like Hannity & Limbaugh will make plenty of money playing off another 4 years of Obama. Hell, I'd bet that Glenn Beck comes back to the regular TV viewers on some network out there.
The tea-baggers & company will have a dilemma on their hands. They don't have the clout & bucks to actually run the Republican Party machine, and yet they have enough nut-crazy members who think their 'true conservative' (a Randian?) would win the electoral vote & lead this country 'towards the gold".
I'll be watching what Ron Paul & son will be up to in about 18 months. That's a weather vane that should point to the Ryan-Randian path to 2016.
