HOLY SHIT!! Be honest...did you see this coming? This early?

19. I've been expecting this moment for ten years...

Seriously the Republican coalition shattered under W. The Bush administration sowed the seeds of the destruction of the republican party when they fired Paul O'niel and invaded Iraq. The only thing holding up McCain was fear, and the 2010 wave was a protest of both parties not just the POTUS.

They've never recovered from W. I think a lot of what we're seeing here is the marginal republicans that were hoping the GOP would come to its senses eventually watched the two conventions and thought "WTF am I doing with these losers?" They lost the moderates, they lost the libertarians, they even lost the "true conservatives" who were ideologically motivated and didn't function purely on hate. I see it all around me, people who have always been R aligned but never really happy who've changed their opinion on who is the lesser evil.

It doesn't hurt that Obama is doing a good job either.

Historic moment happening here, major political realignment.
