    Uh...so?

    Ok, so the GOP is getting its collective rear kicked in most states.

    Death of the GOP, however does NOT mean the death of conservativism, even in the bastion of liberalism, California. Remember, California approved Prop 8, shot down affirmative action, passed a prop that restricted access for illegal aliens to government services, etc.

    It's possible that the death of the GOP represents the fact that the GOP doesn't really reflect conservatives.

    For the record, I'm not a conservative or liberal.
