But IMO, the deeper problem is that the GOP is really caught between the proverbial "rock and the hard place". They've become increasingly dependent on the Reagan/Atwater "Southern Strategy" (aka, States Rights and disguised racism), and Karl Rove's "culture wars" (aka, cultivate white blue collar resentments)... neither of which takes very kindly to either black or brown folks ("you ain't from around here, are 'ya boy")!
