I'm not sure about that. The Democrats seem to be quite adept at getting their ducks in a row come election time.

When push comes to shove the Blue Dogs, Yellow Dogs, far-left and moderates hold their respective noses and stick together for the "party". (Obviously a generalization but largely true in recent memory of a memory-deficient 40-something who was not kind to his brain cells in his past. )

Ultimately I think the GOP will hemorrhage from within, rather than because of whatever muddled, cobbled-together platform they try to run with. There is a sizable disconnect between the Religious Right, the Tea Party, the NeoCon, the Country Club and the moderate factions.
