Could 2008 be the year that Democrats finally admit an old sweetheart is never coming back, and stop pandering to the white male voter?
  • White males live in cities too.

    Welcome back to 1995-6. Surely something must have changed in the last 11 years, but no Schaller says the Democratic Party should rely on something other than the white male.

    What rubbish. The last election quite clearly showed that the voting demographics are more a rural/urban split than a white/black, male/female vote split. The only consideration might be the north/south vote. The country needs also to overcome the terrible gerrymandering to help generate results more in line with overall patterns.
