WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE FUNDIES & THE GOP?

If the GOP comes out in support of gay marriage, something even Karl Rove thinks is possible, then the Fundies will have lost one of their two main issues, the other being abortion.  This has led some Fundie leaders to make open threats:

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a Christian conservative activist group, sent his warning to the party in an email to thousands of supporters.
"If the RNC abandons marriage, evangelicals will either sit the elections out completely—or move to create a third party," he wrote. "Either option puts Republicans on the path to a permanent minority."

I can't see the Fundies trying to create 3rd party but I can see the GOP walking away from them.
