The RNC has let all the not-a-chancers (two moderates, a REAL fundie and LaRouche light? Really?) run this time around as a sop to their fringe because whoever goes up on the republican ticket in this election is going to fail. They'll spend four years using their party organs (Fox, Rush, et al) to blame the country's economic crash on the democrats, mitigate their losses and lay the groundwork for 2012. If it's anything like post Bush Sr, the democrats will pass the unpopular legislation (Taxes!) necessary to start unfucking the economy, and the republicans will make spaghetti attacks ("Fling it against the wall and see what sticks") and undermine as much as possible.
