Gallup: Only Five 'Red' States Left

Take note Gop I see the End of the GOP IS COMING keep digging gop

Which is why it makes no sense that the Republicans would like to move their party even further right. Are they trying to disappear?

Hey ABC,

States with budget deficits...all dominated by Democraps. States with surplus...all but one run by Republicans(West Va-dem, Alaska-Palin, Wyoming-Rep, North Dakota-Rep)

OUCH

The Greedy Old Pigs (GOP) party is DEAD.

I can't wait for 2010 to bury it.

I don't think the GOP is trying to disappear; it's just becoming more divorced from reality.

I think Paul Krugman summed it up succinctly: The GOP has become "the party of stupid."

This is indeed sobering! Even the usually blood red state of Texas took awhile to call on election night (which has not happened in decades!) and even though the state itself eventually went for McCain, statistics show that a large contingency of counties were turned blue...including Dallas, where I live.

Per their mascot, the Republicans had better wake up and smell the elephant dung!!!

what's going on Rush.....not being able to do your dirty work anymore?

Remind me of the 1960s when Kennedy through Carter were in power. The dominant party was the Democrats. Many mistakes and overspending later and country wanted a change. The Reagan era began and has lasted awhile.

The lesson here is that the party dominance is cyclical. Democrats are popular now, but the future? Enjoy it while you can.

Republicans can fool some people for all the time, all the people for sometime, but they can't fool all the people for all the time! When Republicans lose America wins!

Oh, great!! More jackasses is exactly what we need!!

Paige: "Which is why it makes no sense that the Republicans would like to move their party even further right."

It makes perfect sense and has happened before (most recently in the UK). The moderate, middle of the road Republicans have been voted out. The only people left are the hard-core right wingers in safe, gerrymandered districts. They'll probably decide they lost in 2008 because they weren't far enough right and lurch one more notch out of the mainstream before they start the long hike back into relevancy.

That is assuming they ever recover - after the job Bush and his big-government spend and borrow Republican Congress did on the Republican 'brand,' we may see conservatives form a new party form, peel off the blue dog Democrats (who would have been Republicans back in the Reagan days), and let the fundamentalist Republican party whither away.

Another misinformation being peddled by an over-biased media fawning over perceived Democratic successes. Hey I come from Asia scumbags and guess what - thank you for your liberalism and idealism for keeping my uncles and cousins happy and thinking that Americans are not only naive but stupid as well! Now we can openly subvert your stupid culture and manipulate it for the glory of Asia. Long Live Mao!

From coast to coast! This is something to celebrate.

Wish I may, Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold, Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger (Pelosi)
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king (Obama)
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

Keep Thinking your the king libbies!!!!
Keep Thinking!!!

jhw539 - I don't disagree with you. Afterall, the individual gunning for the RNC Chair position has the lovely promotional CD with songs, Barack the Magic Negro and the Star Spanglish Banner ; Republican Congressman Gingrey from Georgia said yesterday that "Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are the voices of the conservative movement's conscience"

The problem with this far right mentality is unlike the UK, the demographics in America are changing and the GOP has no room for them.

Dee is correct in her post about Texas. Texas is expected to turn blue.

My elected officials appear to be voting on strict party lines. Senator Hutchison, Senator Cornyn, and Representative Barton all adhere to “tax cuts” as a solution bringing us out of this mess. Nothing “competitive” about that vote.

if we could only ban free speech and allow more strigent voter registration initiatives (particularly in the Southwest) we could have a total Obama nation much more quickly. I look forward to expanded "hate" speech doctrines, "fairness" doctrines, no id voter registration & voting laws, and, ideally, more government welfare for unproductive citizens. Maybe, hopefully, someday we could eliminate voting or dissent all together!

Meh, you act as if there have never been political realignments before. Maybe you aren't old enough to remember (or maybe you are so old that you've forgotten), but the Democrats have had the country in a headlock before. At some point, they'll lose their grip again.

With all of the angry, bitter haters on the far left and right, it would be nice if a new party could form for the people in the middle.

Mike_C,

Thank God America has real poets.

Gosh one would think you have no idea of what a stanza or iambic foot is.

Oh! George Bush has taken his Party along with him!
