I think what you are going to see over the next two elections is the shrikage of the right wing half, something that has been going on sinc 2004. In the elections of 2000 and 2004 it was a 50/50 split. In 2008 it was a 64/46 split. That will widen as time goes on, just as it did after the last Great Republian-caused Depression. This time around I will be surprised if the GOP survives it.
