Yes, you are correct that the end result is likely that. But I've wondered often as of late if a Democrat victory might not be necessary for the Republican Party to remind itself what it stands for and what it stands against.

How is it that the GOP could go weak on federal spending and growth in government? That should be the CORE of the party to which all other conservative wings are added on (social, cultural, pro-defense).

As a Californian I have the added benefit of having a party that stands for Arnold Schwarzenegger but no ideology right now.

I don't think the public will tolerate too well the rule of liberal Democrats. And I think that such rule might be necessary to revitalize the GOP and rekindle the passion for ideas that until recently had steered the party's path to power.

The Democratic party could literally destroy this country in two years - and probably will. There may be nothing left to galvanize.
