Is the GOP too white and too rural?

the post-mortem is underway for the Republican Party. As frequent visitors know, this is a particular obsession of mine, so we'll dip into this thread occasionally. What's wrong with the GOP, what's right, and what needs to change?

Here's Politico's take:
Most ominously for Republicans, the GOP is increasingly becoming less grand than old – and outdated.

As reflected in Tuesday’s results and exit polls, it’s a party that is overwhelmingly white, rural and aged in a country that is rapidly becoming racially mixed, suburban and dominated by a post-baby boomer generation with no memory of Vietnam or the familiar culture wars of the past.

And then there's the Republican guy in the state Assembly, Tedisco, who says New York's Republican Party can rebuild by going back to its conservative roots....that the party had strayed too far towards more moderate views. uh-huh.
