It'll be interesting to see, anyway.
This sort of thing happened in Canada back in the 90s. The extreme right wing took over the conservative powerbase and REALLY fired up the party faithful but turned off the moderates and swing votes resulting in a HUGE liberal majority.
The Republican Party Faithful were all marching through the streets celebrating nominations of people like Sharon Angle and Rand Paul until it became clear that letting them talk was a very bad idea. Sharon Angle's disastrous candidacy has pretty much cemented the win for HArry Reid, only recently thought of as a no-chance candidate.
Ben Quayle did win the nomination but with only 33% of Republicans behind him. He might fire up the base but his obvious stupidity, coupled with the "Oh shit, not another Bush Era son wanting in" factor could seriously work against the Republicans on a national level.
