What they really need is Pennsylvania. Those all white suburbs in Bucks County looks like as good a place as any to try to work some magic.
If the GOP goes that route and/or continues toning down social conservatism, they leave an open flank for us to take back some working-class whites.
Also, why would you curse me with becoming a red state?
But I think that along with winning over the fiscally center-right/socially moderate whites, the GOP would do much better with Asians (who are socially conservative but not in the Bible-thumping way, but more of a "family is the central unit of society" way, and also despise anti-intellectualism).
