Could 2008 be the year that Democrats finally admit an old sweetheart is never coming back, and stop pandering to the white male voter?
  • He's just casting too broadly

    What he means is "Those rednecks who don't vote for us". Of course there are rednecks everywhere so it's not just southerners. It also means people all over the US who also already don't vote Democratic. Since the next election will, like all the other recent ones, be a virtual tie, the key is to push that 5-8% of the electorate you can sway. Trust me, going after the Black Pentecostal vote or the Catholic Mexican vote is also a complete waste of time. They don't align with you on social issues.
