  3. Newly formed “Tea Party” splits Republican vote; Obama re-elected.
  4. Palin realizes there’s more money, influence in the media, quits politics.
  5. “Tea Party” spends years infighting and disintegrates.

Just my thoughts here. This group seems to share a lot of the same disorganizing traits as the democrats.
