So yeah, the Tea Party hilariously screwed the GOP last night.

Even if one accepts the premise that the TEA Party movement cost the GOP a shot at narrowly controlling the Senate, it doesn't follow that it is a bad thing for either the GOP or the TEA Party for that to have happened.  Trying to hold together 51 or 52 Senators was always going to be dicey, especially when some of them openly don't ascribe to the TEA Party bullet points, and Obama is still in the White House.  The Class I Senate seats are so lopsidely Democratic thanks to 2006, that unless the GOP has an awful year in 2012, I'd expect them to gain 6 seats in 2012 and if everything goes their way, could possibly gain as many as 15.  If 2012 is like 2010, I'd expect the GOP to gain 10-12 seats given which seats are up for election.  Conversely, even if the Democrats have a wonderful 2012, at most they can pick up 2 Senate seats in 2012: Brown in Massachusetts and if Snowe gets primaried or retires they would have a shot at Maine.

LePage's victory has sealed Snowe's fate in Maine. Her only hope is to stop being a moderate hero and try to appeal to the tea party.

If she does get primaried she'll pull a Crist. Except she would probably win with 60% of the vote even then..

No, she'd pull a Murkowski, not a Crist, since as you pointed out, she'd win.
