There are a # of factors but the most basic one is that the GOP is a damaged brand in many areas of the country. The Southrons hijacked the party and pushed an agenda and culture that many weren't comfortable with. The Bush years riddled it with bullets.
After a weak recovery this election should have been closer. However, the GOP has to appeal to their base with losing issues- making them un-electable in many areas. The Rove/Bush formula for electoral success is obviously done but some still refuse to accept that
