This piece appeared in The Guardian a few days back. It uses as its foundation a recent study indicating that because of the growth of ethnic groups, the Democratic Party is headed towards an electoral hegemony.
Conventional wisdom, of course. After all, it is in the nature of liberalism to derive one's politics from one's ethnicity.

The Rats have been saying this is going to happen Real Soon Now for, oh, the last three decades or so. Each time, they conveniently leave out the fact that the vast majority of first-generation offspring of immigants consider themselves to be as much of an American as anyone whose family has already been here for 300 years (which, of course, they are). Only minority groups that have been brainwashed into knee-jerk support of the Rats (like most blacks, sadly) will blindly support liberalism just because of the color of their skin.
Also note that black support for Bush has skyrocketed throughout the course of his administration. These groups will invariably come around to reality as long as someone is able to get the facts out to them. And the GOP has been increasingly good at doing so. It'll be a long time before we ever win over the inner-city voters held hostage by Rat federal poverty maintenance schemes, but everyone else is up for grabs. We just have to keep grabbing.
