The Fruits Of Christianist Populism
The Republicans have lost vast numbers of the educated - and those who prize education - and the successful:
Republicans have lost an enormous amount of support among upscale
voters, basically just breaking even among those with household incomes
above $50,000 a year, a traditional GOP stronghold. Similarly, McCain's
losing to Obama among college graduates and voters who have attended
some college underscores how much the GOP franchise is in trouble. My
hunch is that the Republican Party's focus on social, cultural, and
religious issues -- most notably, fights over embryonic-stem-cell
research and Terri Schiavo -- cost its candidates dearly among upscale
voters.
