6. These Foxxs, Coburns, etc. etc. are the undoing of the GOP in most of the country.
I love that they are the spokespeople of the GOP. What many right-wingers do not seem to realize is that the "Reagan coalition" has dramatically shrank since the 1980s, and the "McGovern coalition" and the "Jesse Jackson coalition" has dramatically increased in size in the past 20 years. The country is simply different. And the GOP risks becoming a regional party, or a sectoral party VERY closely identified with right-wing protestantism rather than the general center-right. If Democrats are smart, they have a real opportunity of achieving substantial hegemony in a way not seen since the 1930's.
