I tend to agree with MDDEM on the realignment argument. Another indicator is how "extreme" a Party becomes as it begins to face decline. Question in my mind, has the extremist Religious Right become the dominate force in the GOP and how is that like the "extremist" Liberals associated with dominating the Democratic Party in the late 1970's? In other words, has the GOP swung too far Right???
I also detect a change in NC that may have been foreshadowed in the 2004 election. The state is now a majority "urban". However, if there's a drag to the Right it may be reinforced by newcomers (Floridians, southern Californians, suburban Northeasterners, rural Pennsylvanians and Ohioans...) who seem to be more Conservative than even natives!
Just some random thoughts...
