  • Wow... writing off established voter's

    That kind of explains why Democrats keep losing. When you write off your loyal base in favor of new voter's who don't have much of a history of following up on their promises to show up at the polls, then you are pretty much assuring that you will lose. Apparently Brazile is ignorant of basic political facts that any student in Politics 101 knows: Older people vote more. Older people donate more. Older people pay more attention to politics. Latinos are increasing in number and will very soon make up a majority of voter's in several critical states. And I'll throw one in just for good measure: Loyal Democrats don't like being told that their vote doesn't matter because they are not the future of the party.
