Politico: GOP only won in the South

A Politico story about the GOP chairman race attempts to fan the flames about the Republican Party being marginalized as the party of the South, recently suffering “a sound electoral defeat in every other region of the country.”

The last time I looked at the electoral map, McCain/Palin carried many Midwestern, Plains and Western states and lost two southern states (Fla. and N.C.).  And yet the elite media are dead-set on relegating the GOP to the South, where those bumpkin pro-lifers and anti-gays are.  This is what happens when reporters try really hard to fit the facts into the “story idea” they came up with beforehand.
