So the drip, drip, drip, of a few libs and a few ultra cons leaving year after year will continue.
In cities like Houston over the last 20 years you have seen 3 major churches now in the lib camp leave (Grace Church Humble, Jabba The Hut's church in Spring, and the Breakfast Church of Champions).
In the end the UPC may have kept the facade of unity with the vast majority staying but the brain drain will continue.

I am thinking the reverse will happen this year. Cons will become more persuaded to vote yes to keep the unity.
Why?
1. The internet/TV inconsistency is becoming harder to ignore.
2. The question is rapidly not a TV question anymore. - Programs on demand for computers, ipods, phones.
3. It is harder to ignore the very real potential for evangelism.
4. I believe there will be very direct appeals made by people that define the UPC on the conference floor.
