GOP needs to retool?

Pity the talkers on cable TV. The polls are open for many more hours and so far, there have been no real voting problems to report -- except waiting in line. But the cable guys have to fill time -- lots of it -- so they've gotten on with the business of assigning blame for a Republican bloodbath that hasn't happened yet.

MSNBC's Chuck Todd just asked Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., how he would assess the state of the Republican party when he sees the swath of dripping blue paint from Canada south. (Yes, it's going to be a long night.)

Davis, who is not running for re-election, said of the Republican Party: "We've become a white, rural, regional party. We're going to have to retool ourselves."

Is Davis right? Yes or no, comment below.
