Several things could end up happening: 1) Moderate republicans run as Independents 2) They ran as Blue Dog Dems or 3) They split and we have a Tea Party um...Party.

I definitely don't think we want more Blue Dog Dems and I can't imagine Republics running as Independents but the sane Republics need to go somewhere because of redistricting we'll end up with lots of gridlock in DC.
