The Conservatives in Canada won mainly because of their obvious shift towards the centre and the disastrous implosion of the Liberal party from the leadership down. (More or less the opposite of what happened in the U.S.)
If the GOP wants to "sweep" or to make any significant headway into restoring what's left of their power, then maybe they should consider a similar move. I've said this before: maybe it's time to return to the Third Way in America.
