The fact is that the core Republican constituencies -- white men, rural people, small businessmen -- are being slowly but surely overtaken by a Democratic coalition of women, minorities, service workers and a new class of college-educated professionals, one more concerned with social justice and less likely to reflexively vote by tax bracket than the old doctor-lawyer-executive elite. In the post-industrial age, demography favors Democrats: The numbers of "Reagan Democrats" -- blue-collar workers who helped boost the GOP in key mid-Atlantic industrial states -- are shrinking, while the new professional class and the service class, which both skew Democratic, are growing. Iraq and the war on terrorism can impede the Dems' eventual triumph, but they can't stop it.

They are even losing the immigrants to the republican party, and all it took was Clinton, Carter, Kerry, Pelosi, Kucinich,Dacshole and Edwards opening their mouths.....
