the way of the whigs

will the last person to leave the GOP please turn out the lights? from greg sargent:

"Earlier this week a Washington Post poll made a big splash because it found that only 21 percent self-identify as Republicans. The abysmally low number got pundits and reporters talking about whether the GOP is shrinking to the point of irrelevance.

Now we have another poll that finds that the number of self-identified Republicans has dropped even lower: 20 percent."

shouldn't someone throw a going away party?
