and it's driving the GOP further and further into the rabbit hole. In the short term, things look pretty bad in general but in the long term, the right-wing GOPers are continuing to drive their party into a ditch. I mean, I'm worried about 2014 but who are their "heavy hitters" for 2016? Who are their up-and-coming stars? And what do they stand for? The Republicans will always find themselves people to vote for them out of fear or a host of other "reasons" but their policy positions- when examined critically- aren't going to resonate with newer and younger voters.
