A lot of the themes and ideas that the GOP could use to win back the moderates, are the same themes that are important to the Tea Partiers. For example restraint on the growth of government and the deficit, attacking earmarks, rejection of the 2000 page Health Care bill monstrosities.

A GOP that's a "me too but a little slower" party doesn't really give anyone a reason to vote for it. It lost both the tea partiers and its share of the moderates, by losing its conservative principles.

LOL. I say go for it. If the GOP becomes the party of the Tea Party, then they will always be a minority party. They are the fringe lunatic right.

If the GOP wants to get back to power, they have to do what Scott Brown did...win the Independents and Moderate Dems. In other words, win the centrists back.

S. Brown keeps referring to himself as a Scott Brown R.....tea baggers aren't liking the implication.
