I think the country is by nature 'conservative' but, this shift shows, the GOP is going to have to figure out a way to win cities and get people of color with them. And, the young new voters don't bode well for the GOP either, since, usually what you are at 20 as a voter is what you are at 80.

And, most of all, they have got to figure out a way to loosen that vise grip that the out of touch with real people Southern vote, if not they really are doomed to being a regional party.
