are all tea partiers in 2014. Then democrats can pick them off during the election. Will it work?

1. Maybe

Anything that splits the right wing is good.

2. Yeah, as was clearly shown in 2012

Where we won one race out of three against a tea party favorite. At that rate, we'll be lucky to hold onto the San Francisco City Council.

3. forgetting gerrymandered districts

4. I guess I have this in mind. Gerrymandered seats may not be that safe:

7. If this unpleasantness plays out to the end, and the effects are as dire as some have predicted,

the Teabilly Party might have trouble recruiting anyone willing to run, unless permitted to conduct their entire campaign from behind a sheet of eggproof, rockproof, and rotten-tomatoproof glass.

After all, it isn't just Liberals and Independents who could be hurt badly by their intransigence, and those lovingly-gerrymandered districts might harbor some unexpected surprises.

8. I'm not sure

we took that risk in 2012 and it did not work out due to gerrymandering and redistricting, now
that we know what we're up against, I say we stick to our strategy for 2014.

9. It might--if they run a butt-load of Todd Akinses and Christine O'Donnells......

...but no guarantees.
