The last time I was in NYC, the subway and some mild chaos in my journey had me thinking sort of longingly or something about Switzerland. I haven't even ever been there.

Have only read this far:
Quote:
First, the end of a national Republican Party that routinely gets 90 percent of its presidential votes from white America.

California is the harbinger of what is to come.

Carried by Richard Nixon in all five presidential elections when he was on the ticket and by Ronald Reagan all four times he ran, California, where whites are now a shrinking minority, is a state where the GOP faces extinction. John McCain's share of the California vote was down to the Barry Goldwater level of 1964.
Um... if the GOP in CA could come back after Barry Goldwater got such a small percentage of the vote and carry CA in 1968, 1972, 1980, and 1984 (four of the five elections following Goldwater's defeat)... why is it so difficult to think that another Republican could carry California after McCain's defeat?

I'll admit that it certainly doesn't look imminent, but to say that CA will *never* vote Republican again is idiotic. A Republican won a statewide race in CA in 2006... only five years ago for Pete's sake.

If B.O. wins in 2012, it's possible that Rice could run in 2016. She'd have a decent shot at carrying her home state in the general election if she could get herself the nomination. (There's 1001 reasons why this probably won't happen, but it's not so terribly absurd that anyone should state with confidence that CA will never vote for a Republican POTUS ever again.)

Switzerland can be nice, but you need to go the Italian part or even the French part of Switzerland. Because just a little chaos mixed within a orderly system is nice. The German part, though lovely, can make you feel like you have been assigned to a German camp if you let it.

I agree.

I guess this is the thread where we can bring out all the stereotypes.

Governors are different. People stick less to the party line when they vote for governors, and governors often tend to govern in a not-so-partisan manner. So it's not uncommon to see a red state with a Democrat governor or a blue state with a Republican governor.
