Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Could 2008 be the year that Democrats finally admit an old sweetheart is never coming back, and stop pandering to the white male voter?
  • Married women

    Better write off those married women,too. In 2004, 55 percent of married mothers supported George W. Bush, compared with 44 percent for John Kerry. They apparently believed that Bush was protecting them and their families by invading Iraq (duh?). Sounds like they succumbed to Republican pandering, so why bother with them? Waste of money.

    The prof's analysis was very superficial, not attempting to explain why southern males vote Republican. And he says "I'm talking about the white male voter, or at least a certain long-coveted variety thereof", grudgingly acknowledging that not all white males are stoopid southroners. If any other group was spoken about in this disparaging way there would be people marching in the streets.
