I think we are getting ready to witness a sea change in electoral politics. The Republican party looks to be regionalized and diminished in national importance. They, of course, will bounce back in time...but it will take a while...and it will require them to shake off the burdens that they now welcome.

that's the magic of Obama - on the one hand, Change and a new style of politics is great, so vote for him. Now, suddenly, old style politics is great! and McCain isn't ingrained in the political community! So vote Obama
because he's a master at Chicago politics. And abra-cadabra - McCain's problem is that he doesn't represent his base - but if he's not electable, it signifies a problem with the base!
