The State of the Senate GOP

The unity of Republican senators appears nonexistent now:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) voted against the Medicare veto override, but two other GOP leaders, Cornyn and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) — vice chairman and chairman, respectively, of the Senate Republican Conference — voted in favor of the override. On a housing bill procedural vote, McConnell voted yes, but Kyl voted no.

On a Medicare amendment sponsored by conservative rabble-rouser Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), McConnell, Kyl and Cornyn backed DeMint, but Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), also part of the GOP leadership, went the other way.

With Republican party already headed for huge losses in the Senate, I wonder if the tactic of "every man for himself" is best idea.
