It’s the Republican Party fault. If they had a spine, then this would not be happening. If they were more concerned with what their voters thought, than the media and press this would not be happening.
If the pubbies lose in ‘12, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Most like however, they’ll learn precisely the wrong lesson. I’d be willing to bet that if Obama is re-elected, the GOP will purge the Tea Party elements, blaming the Tea Party for the loss.
I’m not a gambling man, btw.
