Is the GOP Really Turning Into a Regional Party?
(By Jim Geraghty, National Review Online) - If the GOP party is dead in the Northeast, why do Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut have Republican governors?
The "they're all squishes" argument doesn't quite fly, as Rhode Island's Don Carcieri is pro-life and tough on illegal immigration. Vermont's Jim Douglas is a tax cutter, supports nuclear power, supports "traditional marriage," and has cut the state's budget in some areas.
And what can Republican congressional candidates learn from these governors who managed to get reelected in Democratic years like 2006 and 2008?
