But BA? That would be helping Obama, don'tcha know? Tea Party can't do that.

*hack cough* Sorry, my sarcasm limit's been reached.

He can't be re-elected so no help there. But his successor? Not to mention the Democratic party as a whole? Let's face it, the GOP has been doubling down on a losing streak at the national level. And I suspect a part of the problem is their success in 2009 followed by the redistricting gave them, them an  opportunity to give them "safe" districts. And that gave them an opportunity to pursue ideological pursuits such as "intelligent design", abortion, and voter ID restriction (or voter suppression). It also threatened the RINO's and squishes . It'll work on the local and maybe the the state level. Nationally?  It won't get them the independents. And 2016 is not that far away and if the GOP can't make any headway into 2020, when the next re-districting happens?
