"The old way of thinking about U.S. politics--little-guy Democrats vs. wealthy Republicans--is about as accurate and relevant today as a 1930 weather forecast. New fronts have moved in. Expect some exciting squalls ahead."
This is my favorite line.

Anyone who wants to see which one is the party of the rich, all they have to do is go out to the Hamptons on Long Island or the wealthy sections of suburban Baltimore or Washington D.C. You will see wall to wall Kerry signs. The bigger the house the more likely they will be to have a Kerry sign on the lawn.

Nice article, even if it has a familiar ring to it. Probably posted 2 weeks ago or so, I suspect.

My daughter brought home an interesting young roomate with decidedly leftist tendencies. She was startled, genuinely startled, when I told her that the Democrats were the party of the rich.
However, I think she gradually accepted that fact and was struggling with the consequences.
