The GOP lost the Northeast and barely holding on with Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. At the same time, the GOP lose Colorado and a couple of other states. They only retain a foothold in southern states. They lost the house and the senate and the White House. Gallup show Democratic party identity ahead of Republican party identity. Meanwhile, the GOP is pulling out the old tired meme of abortion and now gay marriage which are two issues that are not high on the forefront of average Americans.
