It looks like the GOP is becoming a strictly regional party, mainly concentrated in Old Dixie, which is quite a stunning turn around, given given that party's origins and history. I guess Nixon's Southern strategy has worked all too well.
It looks like the GOP is going to be pretty much dead in the Northeast and the far West.
