If you ask me, the days of the GOP as it currently exists are numbered.
Romney was the "establishment candidate" and even with all the freebies Obama threw him them the establisment couldn't close the deal. The establishment Republicans have lost face so I expect the Tea-party faction to redouble its efforts to tear down the current "old-boys network".
Likewise the Evangelical/Moral guardian wing of the GOP is starting to split along geographic lines with the Mormons and Catholics in the west taking on the white Southern Baptists in the east.
The next generation of of the GOP, (or the party that replaces it) will not look like the current GOP. In some ways this will be in a good thing in others...
Well lets just say that the progressives who classify the current GOP as extreme aint seen anything yet.
