Polls suggest that only one-fourth of the electorate considers itself Republican, that independents are trending Democratic and that as few as five states have solid Republican pluralities.
The electorate is getting less white, less rural, less Christian — in short, less demographically Republican. GOP officials who completely controlled Washington three years ago are vowing to “regain our status as a national party” and creating woe-is-us groups to resuscitate their brand, while Democrats are publishing books like "The Strange Death of Republican America" and "40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation."
Blog author's comments - Midterm election 2010. The GOP picked up 60 seats in the House of Representatives, now controls the House.
Republicans also gained 6 Senate seats which could go to 9. Very important, the GOP gained 7 governorships with some races not yet called.
Republican gains weren't restricted to the House, Senate and governors races Tuesday. They also made some major strides in all-important state legislative races.
Not too bad for an "endangered species."
