  This isn't any big surprise or anything, but it's still sort of 
breathtaking when you see it in such stark terms. 
<http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_09/020010.php>Via 
Steve Benen (from a Research 2000 poll), the Republican Party is just 
flat dead everywhere outside the South.  Even folks in the Midwest 
can't stand them.  The GOP is, for the time being anyway, a purely 
regional party.

And who's responsible for that?  "I know this probably sounds 
arrogant to say," George Bush told speechwriter Matt Latimer 
<http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/Questions-about-Bush_s-conservative-principles-8243811-59271787.html>in
 
a conversation last year, "but I redefined the Republican Party." 
I'd say he had a point.
