It is a significant moment but it's also an election year and people tend to go mad in Presidential election years. It's better to check in on the insanity a year from now in order to gauge the times better. I think that even if Mitt wins things will be just as divided and bitter in this country.
The teabaggeratti expect something very different from what they're ever going to get. Mitt and his fellow Plutocrats aren't about to make government smaller or less significant. They will, however use government to take total control, even over the teabaggers, because they won't need them anymore.
