The entire country is pretty much Republican. The most watched news network is Fox. The most listened to talk radio show is Rush Limbaugh. There are 50 Governors, only 18 of them are Democrats. The Republicans just gained more seats in the House and Senate than they have had in decades.
The entire country is pretty much Republican, which is why the Republicans haven't comfortably won a presidential election since 1988! It all makes sense now.
Even though the Republicans have issues on the Presidential level, they are actually quite strong on the State and Congressional level at this point in time. The only areas of the country where the Democrats are that strong on those levels are the East and West coast and some of the more urban areas. In addition, most people generally support the conservative position on a majority issues with the exception of economic issues such as reducing benefits from programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, taxing the rich and the minimum wage and also on certain social issues such as gay marriage and marijuana legalization. The reason as to why I added Reaganfan's post to the thread was because he made some valid points pointing out that the conservative policies and ideals that the Republican Party espouses are widely-accepted in most of the country.
