Well, if the Tea Party does become a legitimate 3rd party (too much to hope for), I'd think (hope?) it would contain most of the libertarian types while the old Republican Party would take the social conservatives.
congrats, you just split the party in half, causing you to loose many more spots in congress. The two party system has pretty much ensured that you have to take the good with the bad on whichever side you choose.
