If the congressional Republicans really believe in themselves and believe in their message, then they have the capability of antagonizing a lot of voters and could lose the House that way. They got so carried away with their own ideology that they made fools of themselves over the debt ceiling, damaged their own country, and ticked off a lot of voters. We shall see.

There has been TONS of excitement! Will Palin run? Will Trump? Why are so many women coming out against Herman Cain? Has newt already started the moon base?
Once the republicans decide whether it's the sweatervest revolution or smitten with Mitty then they'll be left with what they really knew all along - Obama has more charisma than republican candidates have crazy.

I think a lot of it depends on whether Republicans can get their voters excited about the race in the fall. If they are not excited about their candidate and his chances, that will suppress turnout and hurt other Republicans down-ticket.
Don't confuse a lack of excitement in the primary between candidates and the big election in Nov against Obama.
