My totally unscientific proof that the republicans are goners
I've noticed on Matchdotcom that in the past several months there has been a HUGE increase in men who self-identify as middle of the road and a corresponding drop off in the number of men who identify themeselves as conservative.

The part that really sucks is that middle of the road still means neanderthal knucklehead in most cases but at least it's a start and maybe they'll be less likely to reflexively vote republican.

1. My proof is that
apparently 3/4 of the political donations in Oklahoma is going to Democrats. If Republicans can't get money in a state they have carried for the last 40 years, where are they going to get money? And then when it comes time, where are they going to get votes?

4. They'll get money
in big donations from the upper 1% and corporations. Whether they can still use that to get votes is unknown, but the kind of money they raise can pay for a lot of smear campaigns. Just look at what the swiftboats did.

5. I think

it's more of a case of actual republicans not wanting to scare off potential mates, thus changing their political ideals to something appealing to a majority of people
