What a marvelous comeuppance for the most disgraceful fact of American politics in my lifetime: the GOP Southern Strategy.
Nice job guys; you are now the party of the arc from rural Texas through rural Virginia with an arm up the sparsely populated Great Plains.
New England? Birthplace of the GOP? Bye bye. Amazingly the GOP is dead there...dead, not injured...but deceased.
The Mountain States? Hardly monolithic. Hell, Arizona's electoral votes would likely be Obama's had it not been McCain's home state.
The Southern Strategy has resulted in a GOP that is basically run by Southern white folk who deny science in favor of fanatic Christianity. Great job guys...
Let's hope that Richard Nixon is somewhere watching all this.
