The Stupid Party

Primary season is (hopefully) now behind us, and the Republicans find themselves with a number of candidates who, shockingly, were not selected by the poo-bahs of the seekrit inner circle of the party.

Bummer, dudes!

Initial reaction is to write these folks off an non-viable, and concede the seat to the Dems. If this becomes the case, the Republicans may well find that come 2012, the presidential race is between the Democrat and the Tea Party candidates with the Republican largely ignored.

Think it can't happen? In 1856 the Whigs were the Other party. By 1860 a bunch of upstarts, the Republicans, had elected their president, and the Whigs were history.
