The liberals are going to eat their own. It can be a complete rout if the GOP leadership plays this right.
By right, I mean if they listen to the Tea Party. The energy to rout the liberals is not found inside the Beltway...it is found across the fruited plain in the Tea Party.
If they turn a deaf ear to the small-government branch of the party, they will get tossed out just as easily as Croakley did tonight.
