I'd actually really like to see a third party evolve out of all this. Greater diversity could really only be good for democracy.

On the other hand, I suspect that what's likely to happen is that 'Tea Party' is just slightly rebranded version of GOP much like the difference between a Ford and Lincoln. The Tea Party doesn't seem to really have any kind of coherent message that makes it stand out from the GOP. When I try to define what they're for or against, I can't find anything that makes them unique from the GOP.

I imagine they will continue on as a brand for a little bit but when they realize that having 'Democrat, Republican, and Tea Party' on the ballot is reducing their odds of getting their way, they'll be reabsorbed back into the Libertarians and the GOP. If nothing else, it will be interesting to watch.
