I am a South Park Republican who has already voted for Scott Garrett in two primaries and will vote for him in the general.

When Marge Roekema was on the ballot, I left the line blank.

You are now something like 0-6 in your attempts to blanket-label the "South Park Republican" group.

Keep trying.

I believe you but the anecdote is irrelevent.

This is actually an article addressing demographics and I am simply pointing out that I think the author is basically incorrect as to the composition of the Republican Party. It is primarily white and christian. Again, this is probably not the case in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Perhaps Tom Sowell or Ben Wattenberg will write a little more about which groups are voting for which party. As I understand it, the demographic group the author describes in the article is not large enough to make a difference.

Time will tell though: If the Reagan-type candidates begin to lose to the type of person described in the article, I'd take another look. I think Bill Schneiders analysis of the election is correct and it points to the reverse of what the author posits.
