When the GOP (somewhere around 1994) stopped talking about:
1) Jobs
2) Crime
3) Taxes
4) Death Penalty
and started yapping about (as their platform):
1) Gay Marriage
2) Abortion
3) Christianity/religion
They lost the burbs. It happened in my native LI. A ton of long-time moderate republicans have become democrats here over the last 20 years.
Look at 1988. Bush swamped Dukakis in the key burbs, that won the following states; IL, PA, CA, NJ, CT, DE, MI, OH, etc.
It's no secret what's happened to the GOP. As of now, the platform is assbackwards for the GOP in the burbs.
