the key will be in the young and college crowd... if cuil can promote a rebellious or cooler than dads search engine attitude among the young then yeah google would have a serious problem 3 or 4 years from now. But yeah this is definitely something to watch

as long as the VC money keeps rolling in and she dosent give in and fold with a sell to google
I don't think many people are really that loyal to google or any search engine for that matter. A SE is a tool and that is it. If Cuil proves to be the better tool and provide the user with better and faster search results then google will have a fight on it's hands.
