Is it possible that we are in the onset of a new realignement? A realignement where the old industrial states in the North shifts into the Republican column. I am thinking about states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio (and maybe Wisconsin). And some of the fast-growing states on the eastern seaboard (like Virginia and North Carolina) shifts into blue states?
It makes sense in a way since the mentioned northern states are becoming older and whiter, which is a demographic that favours the GOP. While North Carolina and Virginia have growing polulations of young college ecucated people, more African-Americans (maybe more Hispanics as well), which is driving the shift to the left.
