It always seems like each party is going to get 40% no matter what. What I like about the GOP position now is the Dems have given up on so much of the country that the Republicans can focus their energy on the midwest. If the GOP gains in a few more midwestern states the Dems will be just a northeast/left coast party for a generation.

Right.

I just hope they don't field a weak candidate or split or something next time.

Don't want to be a worry-wart, but it's just good to see where potential problems may be so we can avoid them . . .

Many red states are very close to turning blue. New Mexico, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Virginia, Missouri, and Florida are all vulnerable if we make the Republican party an abortion zealot party.

The party needs the abortion neutral/pro-choice fiscal conservatives to get elected in most of those states. Even here in Georgia, all of the single women I know that voted for Bush did so in spite of their view on abortion. If abortion becomes the centerpiece of the party, the republican party will be the minority party as soon as 2006. Then the state of abortion in this country will never change.
