Sounds about right

"[T]he Republican establishment, such as it is, is essentially powerless. It sold its soul to the Tea Party, sat by silently as extremist rhetoric engulfed the GOP and figured that swing voters would eventually overlook all this to cast votes against a bad economy.

"That's still Romney's bet; yet his failure to break through suggests the right wing will not be trifled with. Republican leaders unleashed forces that may eat their party alive. And the only Republican really enjoying what's happening is Newt Gingrich."

-- E. J. Dionne Jr., in his Washington Post column today, "A GOP reality-show race, thanks to the Tea Party"
