Nah, It will be interesting though.
You have the sickness in the Republican party that's pretty serious.
Basically the best part of the GOP, that of fiscal conservatism, realist geopolitics and a rather neutral position on a variety of social matters, was systematically eliminated starting shortly after the Eisenhower administration and ending up with the more or less collapse of the party in 2004 and most obviously in 2006.
The reasons basically revolve around the reconfiguration of the GOP around an axis of power that has been torn apart.
1. Courting and nurturing and social conservatism which caters to the of increasingly rarefied religious beliefs, so basic science, foreign policy, healthcare or public health policy even geology / land use policy can all be called into question because they do not fit within more literalist / dominionist interpretation of the King James Bible.
2. The development of particular media outlets, notably the total domination of AM radio and the Fox News channel which reaches nearly 50% of all US households either as the predominant or exclusive provider of news and information.

3. The rise of a small but very influential sub-class of political influence brokers who (especially under President Bush) exersized a high degree of control or influence over the political apparatus of the GOP and Republican politicians , known generally as neoconservatives. Their most direct influence has had broad affect - most tragically in the Iraqi invasion after 9/11.

In 2004 , after the GOP had high degrees of control over media and policy and - got a little sloppy - and tried to backed several candidates who were openly corrupt or running on family-values but who turned out to have some sordid personal history , the social conservatives - who had been explicitly courted over the last 20 years, decided to not vote.
And the wheels fell off the cart, without evangelical enthusiasm , primary volunteerism and votes, Republican candidates, across the country became non-viable.
While otherwise this might have been considered a good time to reorganize and see where they lost it, in a real sense, there is a whole apparatus built around these three elements, two of which were designed to affect the third.
So the media and the neoconservative political apparatchiks lost their audience but since the neocons "have the mike" they are not about to let some other faction of the Republican party take it away from them.
So they are - in a way - stuck in the "on" position without being able to change message, and that really gets to the ideological and geopolitical roots of that faction of the GOP. This has caused them to REALLY play with fire, courting the far-right of the GOP with some pretty radical characters - who are photogenic and charismatic but perhaps not necessarily - "all there".
The unreal antics are - I catering to an infantile and fairly radical crowd, such that Fox News is really something to behold - just not in the way they would probably prefer.

Other - older - elements could potentially come together - and this REALLY would be positive for the GOP, so if politicians like Pat Buchanan, Dr's Allan Keynes or Ron Paul could gain access to non-Fox media and get their message out.
I think a large number are looking for just such a personality that is willing to stand up to the special interests in the GOP and tell the social conservatives that they are no longer as predominant a force.
In this way, the Democratic party - for it's part is the party that has and for the foreseeable future needs to hold the middle as a centrist party.
Certainly there is neoconservative influence in the democratic party, but after watching the destruction that befell the GOP at the hands of being ideologically radicalized one can only hope they have learned a lesson without having to go through it themselves.
