Hypothesis: Not long after the generation of Prescott Bush, the breeding population shrank below the level needed to sustain the species. Dick Lugar must feel like one of the last dodos. Fed-up Olympia Snowe, ditto. When even Alan Simpson from the sidelines calls "Enough already..." More serious answer would of course go into: toxic effects of Atwater et al. Personalizing political differences (no more Tip-and-Ron fighting by day, schmoozing by night), success of Repub appeal to opposite of their constituents' actual interests + politics of resentment; effects of 24x7 media spin cycle; etc., etc., etc.
