]i'm on your side but i think this analysis is off. it's a no lose for republicans. dems are spending money on a race they shouldn't have to.
republican's frame this as a referendum on obama and healthcare because there's no downside to that argument.

Yeah, I can see that. It will be interesting to see who wins.
I completely agree, the GOP going far right is it's death. Not that the true "anti-government" tea-bag types want anything to do with the GOP, however, no matter how much Michael Steele tries to suck up to them and pretend they are friends.
The interesting thing is that "movement" has already been co-opted by multiple claims from different "Tea Party" orgs, and is suffering from so much infighting I don't know if it will survive to even the 2010 elections.
Their big convention in Nashville (that Palin is to speak at) - they are overcharging so "grass roots" folks can't attend, it's turned out to be a "for profit" event (???), a major co-sponsor already dropped out - I predict it will be a big party that ends up with few attendees.
