And no I’m not talking about the Tom Cruise flick. Washington Post’s Dan Balz has a very interesting article up today about the shifting demographics in our nation and how it is really putting the hurt on Republicans, to the point they are facing a permanent minority status: For the past few months, political analysts […]
Going from Obama’s speech to Jindal’s was a shock to the system. Watching the reaction meter on MSNBC, I wasn’t the only one who thought this. Even McCain voters weren’t impressed.
