To be honest, I think that this loss will become a victory in the long run. You now have Obama-Reid-Pelosi still as the visible leaders of the DNC. They are not popular which was one of the reasons why the dems lost so badly on Tuesday. With Obama-Reid-Pelosi
I am going to give a prediction. If there is any party that will be prime for a break away to a third party it is the democrat party. The DNC is being run by the radical left. The number of radicals to moderate dems in the party is at an all time high and will likely continue. While there are more registered dems in this country, a logical question to ask is “does the DNC really represent your views and values?” (this could be a good campaign theme for the republicans in 2012) I really think that when asked this question, many dem voters will say no. There could be a mass exodus from this party in the 2012-2020 with a newer party with not so radical views replacing it. I think it would be a great question to raise in the 2012 campaign. The republicans can point to Obama-Reid-Pelosi and has the electorate, “Do they really represent you??” Sooooo, the Reid victory could easily help the defeat of the left within 10 years.
That does not make sense to me. The extremists are in charge in the RAT party...the ones who are leaving are the more conservative members.
It seems to me any third party will come out of the TP ranks, if we aren't able to gain control of the GOP.
