If that's all the once progressive GOP stands for? They'll be beat like a rented mule in the '16 election when the 'pubbies will be facing a much larger structural disadvantage than the Democrats are facing next week.
Addendum: The GOP will have Sen.Harry Reid bedeviling them McConnell style for the next two years. <grin> Enjoy!

History shows that some of the most important advances in our country have occurred with the President and Congress (both houses) split between parties. If they get both houses, the GOP will be forced to show that they can actually govern. Otherwise, 2016 will be brutal for them (it may anyway because far more GOP Senate seats than Dem seats are in play in 2016).
It will be interesting to see the (relatively) moderate Republicans (McConnell, Boehner) who know this fighting against the 'Bagger faction who have made disagreeing with Obama an article of faith. This election could prove to be a Pyrrhic victory for the GOP if they don't get their governance shit together.
