The 'Elephant in the room' in an analogy, it refers to an issue that is, in fact, of great and unmistakeable importance but which is being willfully ignored by everyone present. For instance, the Iraq War could not be termed an Elephant in the Room, since everyone is hotly debating it.

No. The electoral system of the US makes a 'two party' system inevitable. If two dominat parties don't emerge, the 'third party' will 'split the vote' of it's idealogically nearest rival, allowing the other party to win handily, even with a minority of the votes. The US would have to change to a 'parliamentary system' - one in which parties can form coalition governments - in order to make third parties viable.

These questions are almost irrelevant to one another. I don't see how Bush "selling out delegates" correlates to his approval rating.
GOP stands for Grand Old Party, the Republican party.
