Republicans losing their power base

Alan Abramowitz offers up a telling story at RealClearPolitics.com about the Republican strategy of cozying up to the white, Christian, married people. Apparently, this approach is a real loser proposition.

Even though white, Christian, married folk are loyal participants in the political process, they are fast becoming a minority compared to the growing constituencies of the Democrats.

Demographic shifts are harder to fight in political battles, so it looks as though the future may belong to the Democrats, unless the Republicans shift allegiance and co-opt some traditional Democratic support.
