The GOP needs to win, and then lose- for good

Here is Andrew Sullivan:

... if the current GOP wins the House, which in many respects, I hope they will - if the GOP is to grow up, and take some responsibility for fixing the appalling mess they largely made at home and abroad.

I agree. Further, the Republicans need to win so that they can prove, conclusively, that they are unfit to govern. And there is no better time for doing so than elections 2010, because if the Democrats win, they are going to have to legislate with even thinner majorities than they have had in the past 4 years. So they are going little done, and what they get done is going to be so watered down that it will infuriate their base even more, which will lead to a presidential election disaster in 2012.

Better, I say, to lance the boil now.
