I think the party needs to pursue some sort of strategy to win back it's old territory again in the near future: namely by appealing to white New England voters and assuring them that the GOP was born
in this region and was the strongest in this region, that the "Family Values" voters don't at all reflect classic GOP values, and also trying to moderate on social issues. And if it means alienating evangelicals to the point of leaving the GOP and forming a new party, so be it.
The evangelicals have destroyed everything the party has stood for (I actually consider the second half of the Bush administration to be hands down the GOP's worst period - far worse than the New Deal era or Watergate).
Got some bad news for you: It's not going to happen.
(I'll let Yankee tell you why)
