The electoral map is daunting for the right. As stated by another poster, the last four have not been good for us. Even though we won 2 of the 4. 2000 was a squeaker, and 2004 was a solid win but too close considering the candidates and a popular president post-9/11. We didn’t advance in hardly any states from 2000 to 2004. There are a slew of states we should compete in, from Iowa to Ohio to Colorado and Virginia where we cannot seem to win.
We do need new strategies. The pessimist and realist can say the field is simply tilted against us. That’s with the status quo. The optimist with a degree of realism sees we won nearly 50 states in 1984 and 1988. There is something other than demographics that have changed the playing field to that degree in a relatively short time. Some of it is enviromental, some is self-inflicted (moderation, spending issues, wars). Some are factors that can be turned.
