Is the TP causing the implosion of th R's ???

TP endorsed Republican candidate for governor of SC, Nikki Haley is being attacked by her own, supposed compatriots.  (Link1Here).  Incredibly similar to the less than luke warm reception Christine O'Donnell has received from the R’s, Nikki Haley is not quite as bizarre but has a background that is at least as checkered.  (Link2Here)  In an article published in SC’s largest newspaper (Link3Here), Haley’s suitability as the R’s candidate was questioned by a previous chair of the SCGOP, Cyndi Mosteller.  Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but it almost seems like the R’s are imploding, with the help of the TP’ers.
