The nation is still moving away from Republicans demographically, too. It can't be emphasized enough that Michael Dukakis would have won the 2008 election. His exit polls of 40% among whites, 89% among African-Americans, and 70% among Latinos is enough to reach 50%+1 now, even in the event that African-American turnout was only 12% of the vote instead of 13%. That is an 8% shift toward Democrats in just twenty years, leading to a crude rate of 0.5% a year, or 2% every four years. Demographic trends are so bad for Republicans that Dukakis would be able to win a landslide in 2012. That's pretty bad.
Polling is bull shit, but we're dealing w/ demographics here, not fickle responses dependent on whether or not the President left the White House this wknd. given by a nation wanting to get off the 'phone w/ this moron & get back to tee vee &/or dinner. (This doesn't mean George Soros can turn off the money spigot, by the way.) There is dissension in the comments, but we stand firmly behind our statement that you (we, really) don't see sentences like that every day.
