Once again, Frank Rich hits the nail on the head about the Tea Party and Conservative wingnuts.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10…  Win or lose, we are in in for tough times AFTER the election”

Don’t expect the extremism and violence in our politics to subside magically after Election Day – no matter what the results. If Tea Party candidates triumph, they’ll be emboldened. If they lose, the anger and bitterness will grow. The only development that can change this equation is a decisive rescue from our prolonged economic crisis. Not for the first time in history – and not just American history – fear itself is at the root of a rabid outbreak of populist rage against government, minorities and conspiratorial “elites.”

So far neither party has offered a comprehensive antidote to our economic pain. The Democrats have fallen short, and the cynics leading the G.O.P. haven’t so much as tried.

It’s frightening to think that all those guns and ammo bought by conservatives since Obama took office are still out there.  Tough times ahead.
