Most states are decided long before the election, we're not talking about getting 60% of the vote or anything, just enough people in enough states that are close enough to be in play. It doesn't matter at all if people in California or the northeast won't vote for a guy who has these views. Of course they won't. But in Florida or Ohio or Pennsylvania? I really think its pretty close to irrelevant if the Obama administration is an unpopular one after 4 or 8 years.

I don't doubt that a Republican wouldn't have a good shot in 4 or 8 years if things really go downhill. I just don't think it'll be them. Those two don't cater to the demographics a Republican will need to sway to win an election. I think it'll be members of the party in the mold of Mark Kirk and Judd Gregg that ultimately rise to win an election.
