Conservatives were 41 percent of the electorate, up a significant 9 percentage points from 2006. They were more enthusiastic about GOP House candidates than in 2006, when 74 percent of self-identified conservatives supported Republicans. This year, 84 percent did. Self-identified liberals formed 20 percent of the electorate in both years.When only one out of five is a self-identified, true believer, we have a lot of room for growth. The GOP got sixty percent of the white vote in 2010, the all time high. While I want to go after everybody, it's time to take the Jacksonian Democrats. The rats' energy and environmental policies are killing them, IMHO.
