I don't know if there are that many "more" of them. Most polls show that congressional voting intentions are pretty close, both in the 48% range. Sometimes (like now) the Republicans are weaker, other times they're stronger.
I do think that the GOP has a geographical advantage: more of their support is spread over a larger area, whereas core democratic support is generally located in larger cities and college towns. That "swing" faction is getting smaller and smaller, I think--and gets smaller each time turnout drops, since people who haven't made up their minds tend not to be very motivated voters.
(present company excepted, of course...)
But we're kind of headed in the direction of that other thread now.....
