The largest portion of the electorate, 40%, consider themselves Independents. So yes, Republicans are a minority party, only 1/5th of the electorate. However, the really loud trailer park type of Republican is now considered to be a "Conservative". Did you notice on the elections returns in NY, that the third fellow running had a "C" next to his name? He ran as a member of the "American Conservative" party. This is the part of the far-right wing of the Republican party that has split from the Republicans and includes the likes of Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck (http://www.theamericanconservatives.org/cms/). These people are really the "Theocracy Party", don't let them fool ya. Only 20 percent or less actually are now defining themselves as Republicans.
