Simple demographics doom the Republican party. They either have to change or go the way of the Whigs. Instead of working to change they have instead chosen to prop up their withering base, which might work in the short term, but will ultimately hasten their demise. Once the GOP figures out they will never again win a presidential election they will never survive as a regional party. At some point the rats will start to abandon their sinking ship.

I can no longer physically make the rounds of door knocking in my neighborhood but I can do phone banking GOTV. If folks are reminded by a caller who is "your neighbor in Westville" and I mean that truthfully, it is a lot more powerful than a canned call. Plus, I get to hear what is on folks' minds. Often there is just a machine picking up but I always leave a message...the same "your neighbor" one I prefer to do in person but something is better than nothing.
