The GOP has lost one presidential elections in 8 years, and lost congressional elections in only the past 2 elections, and that means the sky is falling?
How much are you gonna bet that the GOP doesn't increase seats in the House come 2010? We almost certainly will.
There’s been a trend. There’s a lot more elections other than the Presidential election - Senate, House, Governor, state legislatures, etc. Also, a Republican hasn’t a won a majority of Midwestern states since 1988. Illinois and Michigan used to be pretty Republican state, and of course so were Ohio and Indiana, which are now slipping away also. I’ll admit my home state may be a lost cause...
Yes, the sky is falling. I don’t see Ohio voting for any Republican in 2012 unless some serious work is done. The Mid West feels abandoned by the GOP...it’s the truth.
