2009 is still away and public's memory is short. Yes, if elections were to be held today, every issue counts. In the long run, I c 3rd front imbibing CPM as a force to reckon with. This may be at the cost of both BJP (NDA) and Cong (UPA). So, for all practical purposes, BJP may have to do on it's own and prepare itself for the same though state politics may continue based on alliances.
