I have no reason to believe that she will temper her nuttiness; and when she feels more comfortable and at-ease in her current position, I tend to think her Qrazy Qonspiracies will get some serious air-play and from that, she (and by extension) and her party will get more and more exposure.

From where I sit, that is a long-term, net-gain for the electorate.
