Is the Republican Party dead? Hardly.
According to Hemline University Professor Joseph Olson the Number of states won by Republicans in the Elec tion of 2008 were 30 with the Democrats carrying 20. The Republicans carried 2 million, four hundred and twenty seven square miles compared to the Democrats five hundred and eighty thousand. The population of counties carried by Republicans was one hundred and forty three million, the Democrats one hundred and twenty seven. In Alaska and Oklahoma, all counties were carried by McCain/Palin.
Professor Olson adds "in the aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly owned by taxpaying citizens with Democrat terratory mostly encompassing those citizens living in rented or government owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare.
We had better hope the Republican party is not dead.

It appears Professor Olson's calculus is funny-- you might like to elaborate on how he came up with numbers that appear to be utterly delusional?
Furthermore, you do realize that while many people to rent and/or live in government properties, large urban areas like NYC, LA and to a lesser extent, Boston, are made up of American citizens who earn the highest wages in the entire country? While all of Oklahoma may have voted for McCain-Palin, the vast majority of its citizens are farmers living beneath the poverty line and accepting government subsidies...in addition to American Indians who pay ZERO taxes, whatsoever.
Please offer real statistics next time if you would like to be taken seriously.
