Yes, that's part of it. We always used to hear about Democrats and the South. Why can't they win the South? Ummm... how about the Republicans and the Northeast. Since 1992 (six elections), in Northeastern states (plus Maryland and Delaware, because let's be real here) the Republicans are 1 for 66 in the Northeast. One win, sixty-five losses. That one win was Bush in New Hampshire in 2000. Meanwhile, the Democrats in the same time frame have been able to win 16 times out of 84 in the South.
Maybe if the GOP would embrace their Northern roots they would do a little better? No mention of that, but the Democrats are always supposed to be remembering their Southern roots and try to pander to the ridiculous crap ultra-conservative voters in the South prioritize.
