Tucker concludes that the Democrats have now whittled down to two constituencies -- African Americans and liberal intellectuals.

Let's not forget the ever-increasing ranks of civil-service union members

Good point: It seems to have gone unnoticed that the Clintons were actively politicizing the Civil Service when they were in office. Remember the battle cry, "too male, too pale, too stale"? Remember the "change agents" the Clintons named throughout the Civil Service, and their "protected" committees on "change"? The Clintons had political agents running all through the Civil Service playing identity politics (everybody female, brown, or black, or gay, is automatically on Team Clinton, unless they want off). I wrote Sens. Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchison about it, but they apparently didn't understand what I was telling them. Gramm's staffer thought I was a white male federal job applicant who'd been passed over and thought he got a raw deal. What a joke.
