The Coming Democratic Majority ? or Why FRED BARNES is WRONG !!!
________________________________

I know that i'm a little bit late for this discussion. But this is too important an issue to forget and FRED BARNES is WRONG and also being awfully selective in his choice of information. Let's look at the partisan trends since 1988 to present. The red states have gotten more Democratic, and the Blue states have gotten more Democratic (with the exception of MN). Lets look at the once solid GOP state of AZ. Bush carried it 51% - 44%, 51%-47% if you include Naders vote with Gore. What ever happened to AZ being a Republican stronghold? Unfortunately, this trend has been cemented in California and Illinois and is now occuring elsewhere in AZ, NV, NM, and FL.

Now, can one imagine that if this trend continues what it would do to the GOP. Are we in danger of becoming extinct and not paying any attention to it ?

Unfortunately, we are unless we do something really soon. Bush will probably win in 2004, but Hispanics in general tend to vote their economic interests, Asians are overwhelmingly Democratic in their voting preference, and Blacks continue to shun the GOP due to effective progpaganda and racial witch hunts conducted by left-wing Democrats. White women are marrying less and staying single more. So what then is the GOP to do ?

Remember, if the trends i discussed earlier continues as it has since 1988, we will be DOOMED. Therefore, to win we must
STOP the trend in its tracks. To do that requires two things,

(1) Draft Dr. Condoleeza Rice for President in 2008.
There is simply no way we can win with a Bill Frist, Bill Owens, or Jeb Bush. The total "minority" vote will be significantly higher and will strongly favor the appeal of Mrs. Clinton, single white women will overwhelmingly flock to her, and Clinton has enough time to moderate her postions to pick up many moderates voting after 8 years of Bush. What Condi Rice would do is bring larger numbers moderates, women, and "minorities" who would otherwise stick to the notion of the GOP as racist and vote for Clinton.

(2) Purchase a copy of David Horowitz's dynamic duo How to Beat the Democrats and Art of Politcal War.
Republicans need to fight Politics as if they were fighting a war in order to be competitive with the Democrats message. Attacks on GOPers on race, Social Security, etc.. needs to be weakened and counterattacked effectively. Basically, the GOP needs to stop conducting politcs as a "problem solving" management issue and instead as a WAR.

This is a serious problem for the GOP and needs to be dealt with immediately before demographics doom the GOP into extinction. We can't keep winning elections based on white voters.
I will be interested in hearing refutals of this arguement of this arguement about demographics and voting trends.
