If both sides cave to where their "emerging" momentum seems to be coming from (libertarianism which downplays social issues for the GOP and true economic populism in the style of Elizabeth Warren for the Dems), I could see this as a base map in a few decades:



Dark Color = Solid for that party
Light Color = Usually sides with that party but could flip with the right candidate/climate
Gray = Tossup

I don't know where people get the idea that a libertarian would carry Oregon and Washington. Sure, the eastern rural (already Republican) parts of those states would embrace a libertarian, but the cities and counties where all the votes come from in these states are too far left economically.

Doesn't Washington have pretty low tax rates or maybe even none at all, and aren't most of their Democrats pretty centrist?  I think a moderate enough Republican could peel off suburbanites there, as Tom suggested.
