While it's still possible for Republicans to win the presidency, there are clouds on the horizon. Seems like the "margins of victory" that are achievable for the GOP are destined to shrink, and future electoral college majorities may become increasingly difficult to reach...

A very touchy subject, but one that must be understood and dealt with. Otherwise, the presidency may in time be "snatched from the hands of Republicans" and become nearly-impossible to regain...

Maybe it would help if the GOP stopped accepting the racial lines that Dems have created and start speaking to people as individuals then the demographic issue would be moot. It is a cycle, the left paints everyone in a little box to make each group feel a victim of the other group so the dems can ride in and save the day.

The right has been playing along, speaking to boxes.

Maybe if we start saying you are not a slave to the labeled box that you have been categorized in but you are a free individual, we can take this off the table.

Another "nattering nabob of negativity." He's wrong, I think Obama is going to be routed . . . and I think he and the puppet masters behind him know this. I, like Rush, believe that their internal polling show Obama losing in a landslide.

I am not the least concerned about this election, provided we actually do have an election.

Selwyn thinks DemoRats can vote to bring everything free to themselves.

To bad they can only vote to free themselves of civilization.

Similar fears were expressed when immigrants from Eastern adn Souther Europe came to the U.S. Conservatives adapted and can do so again.

What a bunch of tripe. I can not believe you fall for this.

Have you ever heard of the Roe Effect. Did you see the MSMediots make a big deal about it? It does not bode well for the future of the Dims.

Additionally, anyone who believes Obama has 243 reliable EVs is going to have some splaining to do when gets less than 243 EVs in December.

As far as the gopE is concerned, it has the feel of bad, bloated corporate management that long ago forgot what the company actually does and now has no ideas beyond the latest management fad and sucking as much money out of the company before it goes under.

For the gopE, it's all about the "E" and to hell with the "gop", so why vote for more bad management?

Better idea: Fire them and reorganize per the original business model!

Meanwhile, we have people on this website proclaiming that the majority of this country is conservative and that the future belongs to the GOP, if only we’d run more people like Christine O’Donnell and Sharron Angle, as long as the GOP establishment supports them. I think the reality is that the Federal government has imported enough legal immigrants and instituted enough entitlements and race preference programs that the Democratic party has a virtual lock on the presidency and an increasing hold on the Federal legislature. To salt the wound, it was Nixon who actually instituted Hispanic preferences, thereby slicing off a huge chunk of what might have become white voters, and created an Asian category that covered Indians instead of automatically considering them white. Instead of assimilation, the GOP has been engaged in the politics of balkanization, which plays to Democratic strengths. At this stage, the GOP really needs to get its act together and start to paint the Democrats as the black party, much as the Democrats try to paint the GOP as the white party.

The GOP needs to attract more Hispanics. This is why either Marco Rubio or Susanna Martinez should be VP.

Why is it assumed that as the so called “White” majority is erased that these new citizens who went through the legal hurdles of naturalization and are working hard to raise families, live moral lives and achieve the American dream are so anxious to back a party that wants to erase the very dreams and beliefs that they hold dear?

If the GOP is really the party of only “WASPS” then it diserves that fate. A vowel on the end of a surname does not mean a Liberal vote.

Thank you GW Bush for flooding my nation with millions upon millions of Democrat voting Hispanic illegals, there kids, an legal immigrants from every non-white nation on earth.

Baby Bush could not have done a better job depriving the growth of the Republican voter base if he tried, and to top it off, he vastly grew the Democrat party base. If I was a conspiracy nut, I would say he did it on purpose.

No, GW was just a new world order globalist hellbent on maximizing financial gain for his handlers and hid buddies.

FUGW. FU.

I thought this was about dead people voting for RATS.
