Has the northeastern Party of Lincoln become the Party of the Angry White Southerner (AWSP)?
How can they expect to keep winning elections if they keep alienating minorities?
Thanks to GOP bashing of gays, muslims, mexicans, mormons, catholics, feminists, etc, etc, 50% of Americans consider themselves Democrat or lean that way. Only 35% of Americans feel the same way about Republicans.

PRE-EMPTIVE RESPONSE.
I'm fully aware there are Republicans everywhere, but the conservative foundation of today's Republican Party is in the south. The Republicans from the northeast are more liberal. The Republicans in the midwest and southwest are more moderate. For example, Arizona voted against the gay marriage ban, Missouri voted for stem cell research, several passed minimum wage increases, North Dakota voted against the extreme anti-abortion law, and although NDs voted for the gay marriage ban, a sizeable minority did not.
