Yes, lets get all of the crazies out of the republican party.
The problem is, once they begin to lose elections as a third party, will they all desert? The current ideology of the conservative demagogues (Hannity and Rush, etc) are untenable outside of a small geographic region in the south.
And Im not talking just about the "south" of the civil war. I'm talking about a much smaller south of Texas, Mississippi, OK, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina.
I live in North Carolina, and with every year the state becomes more solidly democratic. We've had a democratic governor since the 80s. But the REAL measure of change is in the mayoral situation. Charlotte, the most convervative big city in North Carolina, the center of banking and finance, elected Anthony Foxx (a democrat) as governor yesterday (after 7 terms of a Republican). The Democratic city council increased from 7-4 dems to 8-4 dems. Virginia, North Carolina, and to a smaller extent, Georgia will all depart the Republican camps for good in the next decade.
Don't you mean Charlotte elected Anthony Foxx as MAYOR?
