If the GOP wants to be competitive in much of suburbia, they must find a way to reach out to the wealthy immigrants and well-educated ethnic whites, not just the people of Anglo-Saxon ancestry and the middle-class Reagan Democrats (many of whom now vote Republican, but they are a swing vote).

Also, economic issues like the deficit and the national debt would be things to focus on, rather than cultural wedge issues like abortion, gay marriage, gun control, or religion in general.

The GOP is doing even worse in suburbs that are of mixed ethnic groups. I live in a heavily Asian suburb of San Jose, CA. Most of these people are Democrats, and they are turned off by the xenophobia of many American conservatives.

I think we're seeing the logical downfall of the Southern Strategy as population growth shifts to more Democratic areas.

The GOP doesn't need Long Island or any of those  liberal subrubs in states we never win in anyways.

Stop crying over a lost cause. New York will NEVER Go republican again. End of story, and i'm from NY.



The GOP doesn't need Virginia??  They don't need Colorado??

"We don't need no stinking cities/suburbs!"
