"The national GOP is a party of exclusion and litmus tests, dominated on social issues by the religious right, with zero discernible outreach by the national party to anyone who doesn't fit neatly within its parameters."

The GOP is imploding!
I'm not sure the GOP is imploding. It's true that some of the more intelligent moderates are bailing, but there is still a hard core elite that is mobilizing a huge number of more unaware people under the umbrella of the Tea Party movement.
These Tea Party pawns are being mobilized by billionaires to preserve the status quo of the rich and privileged and return the Republican elite to control of congress. The pawns are not doing anything in their own best interests but they are serving the purpose of the established elite, just like the Christian Coalition did in the 1990's. And they may have a similar impact on the coming elections.
And the Republican elite will abandon them just as quickly as they did the Christian Coalition once they get in power.
