Maybe it's just a wish of mine, but I fully expect this guy to formally declare himself an independent before his term is out. Hell, he'd even toyed with running as an independent very early on before he realized that independents don't win gubernatorial primaries, here. He's held the tea party legislature at bay since day one, but stuff coming to a head very quickly (they want stuff in return for carrying his water), and we're going to see some nasty fireworks before the year's out.
