66. I think the only way

they can is to sever ties with the Tea Party elements of their base, if they want close the gender gap, they are going to have to sever ties with the Christian Right. If as a party they disavow these segments of their support base then I think they might have a chance, but of course they will lose their "bread and butter" Chritian Right vote which, if I am not mistaken floats at around 20 to 30 percent of the overall vote. The African American vote is gone forever. You can't demonize people over and over, decade after decade the way they have demonized African American citizens and ever get them back. That is what I think anyway, as always I could be totally wrong! Wouldn't be the first time, and it certainly wouldn't be the last!
