The outcome doesn’t matter. A win for Hoffman will lead to shrieks of victory and a call to redouble efforts the next time around. A loss will lead to shrieks of defeat and betrayal - and a call to redouble efforts the next time around.

True. I wonder if so-cons like Hoffman will be the norm for the Tea Partiers. This seems counter to the alleged “libertarian” leanings of some Tea Party types.
