Are North Eastern Republicans really an endangered species?

While watching some of the weekend talkin' heads shoes earlier today one of the political pundits made a prediction that with the coming of the elections in just a few weeks so-called North Eastern Republicans/Conservatives would be an endangered species and basically would be eliminated.

I'm curious how others feel on the topic, and just who would seem to be the predicted losers here. Some of the races are tight, and the polls aren't necessarily looking good for the GOP, but the same was said in 2000 and later in 2004. Certainly the North Eastern area is known as a more liberal part of the country, but are the races in these areas trending enough that the left can already trumpet and proclaim a victory?

You tell me.

Oh, I should also mention here I wonder how the pundits feel about the pending Senatorial race in Maryland? It would seem from current poll numbers that the race will come down to Benjamin Cardin versus Michael Steele. One an old white politician, the other a younger (at least by appearances) black man who is still a novice politician. Which one is which? Cardin is the Democrat, Steele the Republican. Cardin also happens to be the old white guy while Steele is the black man.

If Steele wins, does that mean the theory about North Eastern Republicans wasn't right? Or, is it that Maryland doesn't count as a North Eastern state? (I know it was a border state in the civil war, but I won't make stupid comments like an idiotic Senator from Delaware (Biden) recently did about his home state being a slave state).
