I just feel with immigration/trade/foreign affairs the Republican party is dividing.
Due to these positions the Republicans become more electable in MN,IA and WI. But the consequences are that they will lose out in OH and CO.
CO is a state that doesnt like republicans getting to involved in foreign affairs. Bushs policy will have divided traditional republicans from revelutionary republicans. Ohio is a point where the republican trade policy has totally alienated the typical republican voter. Yes the reps won the state. but how many bible bashers came out to vote. Virtually every swing county Franklin, Stark all went Kerrys way.
In 2008, if the republicans pick another candidate like Bush then they will not be able to hold of the new democrats from taking Ohio.
Ohio just didn't vote on economic issues like everyone thought they would.
The best example is Franklin county, which saw a strong trend for Kerry over Gore. The economy is great in Franklin county!
