What Will the GOP Look Like in 4 or 8 Years? [View all]

This question has been on my mind today. Assuming there is a GOP left after this debacle, which way would it move? The nutters have been steadily dragging the party to the right for quite some time now. I don't know how it could get any further right at this point. So what is left for our buddies in the GOP? Does it implode, or does someone take a stand and move it back toward the center?
