A more serious threat is that the teabagger movement fall under the sway of a charismatic demagogue. Combine the charm of a Sarah Palin, the demagoguery of a Rush Limbaugh, and a Dick Cheney agenda.

How real is that threat?

The teabagger movement is much more widespread and less tied to a geographic area.

So long as it is widespread but weak within any state and basically only a Republican Party issue, I suspect it will come and go. But if it gains strength, sectionally in the South, then we've got troubles. And if it, in the South, morphs across party lines.
