We are not talking about Obama, but representation in Congress and the GOP now has none from New England in the House. It sure looks like a trend to me, not just this election but the 2006 one as well. The point is, the GOP must either moderate its message to be more inclusive or slink back to its southern stronghold and live there and only there. Sure, it will start to swing back somewhat, but with the changing demographics in the country it might only half-swing back.
