Where Republicans invaded Democratic turf | csmonitor.com

GOP gained among women, unions, Hispanics. A sign for 2004?

On a smaller scale, Rove has overseen the creation of a GOP majority once before - in the state of Texas. When Mr. Bush won the Texas governorship in 1994, defeating Democrat Ann Richards, he won just 53 percent of the vote, and Republicans were the minority in the state legislature. Four years later, he was reelected in a landslide, and the GOP took over the state Senate and nearly took the House. The party's continuing dominance in the Lone Star state was evident this year, as Republicans won by wide margins in the Senate and governor's races.

This is the fear, that Rove was sucessful in converting a two-party state to a state where Democrats might have to wait for over a decade to be competitive. Can he do it to the country?
