Disagree (mostly). They face the O’Donnell Angle. That is, their gerrymandering has put many of them in a painful fork: win their primary, or win their election. Yes, for a while they can do both. But in most of the gerrymander locations they’re facing primaries from the right, for which the only winning answer is to be “nuttier than thou”. As already seen the internet never forgets, nor do the moderate republicans. Push it too far and they either stay home (which happened a lot this past election) or vote the other way.

It isn’t going to be soon, but most of them will be destroyed by their success.

True, but in the mean time, the crazies in the party are demanding that they “stare down” Obama, with the truly nutty fuckers suggesting that the GOP just let the country slam into the debt limit in order to force the sort of cuts they think need to happen. “We take in enough taxes to cover our debts, we’ll just have to figure out what we can pay for with what’s left over!”
