We're ENTERING a Republican era? 1 Democrat has received more than 51% of the vote in a presidential election since the end of WWII and that was 40 years ago... 
Look at congress.
Lol, I know, I know. But it still makes a point doesn't it? Dominance can be viewed from different perspectives. I don't really think that we're entering an era of any sort, simply b/c the parties will tend to adapt to changing circumstances. I see the Republican party being forced to change the most, simply b/c it seems reasonable to expect that the conservative Southern rural WASPs will face a decline in numbers in the future.
