“Since Obama was elected President, the Democrats have lost nine governorships, 56 members of the House and two Senate seats,” Doug Sosnik, the political director in Bill Clinton’s White House, writes in a new memo.

We should be focusing on cities. Cities run by democrats for decades are wastelands ripe for republicans with a message of good government. New York under Guiliani was a Renaissance city compared to Detroit. Cities will be under a lot of pressure for bad choices in the past with extravagant pensions to city employees. We can pick up more cities than in a generation

Detroit cannot be taken by Republicans. When a voting majority of the population are dependent upon government handouts, they WILL vote for the party that promises to continue the goodies, and WILL NOT vote for the party that they suspect will end the gravy train.

In such a situation, the only solution is for the state (assuming it's not too far gone as well) to just let the city collapse into bankruptcy, appoint an emergency manager, and end all the practices that keep the parasites on the host.
