They Southern Baptists and Catholic ex-Democrats are not likely to return to the party. The GOP has made it look like the party of secularists, abortionists, gays and minorities. Not all Democrats are secular and some don't even like partial birth abortion. In fact, if the Democrat's bill on the subject had passed, there would be a constitutional ban in place rather than a Supreme Court case. The other problem with the Democrats is that they have gone toward the rich and powerful economically. A new party may be required to wrest power from the Republicans, and is certainly required to build a new centrist majority. I am proposing one. It has no candidates for this year as yet, but if there is outrage in early November you can be folks will be searching for a new solution. We have them, expecially on economics and wage equity/tax equity issues. We have a common sense proposal on the inheritance tax (we tax heirs, not dead people) and on a way to put in a living wage through the tax code while ending the responsibility by most people to file their taxes.
