My biggest concern about the current slate of choices for President is not that John Kerry will be elected, but that George Bush's victory will embolden this wing of the party. It does mean, however, than in 2008 the party will likely blow up when it seeks to nominate Dick Cheney or a similar understudy, allowing Hillary to gain the White House (which she would have no chance of doing against, e.g., Giuliani, Pataki, or any other semi-moderate republican).

Who knows what the wingnuts would do if they actually won something. Right now, they gain power by losing. Abortion is still legal, and gay marriage increasingly so. This scares and energizes their base, which doesn't seem to care that the politicians it elects don't ever come through.
I recommend What's The Matter With Kansas? for anyone who's interested in where the wingnuts have come from in the last decade.
