DEMS NO LONGER THE PARTY OF THE MIDDLE CLASS:
A centrist group of Democrats called Third Way recently issued a report explaining the Democrats’ 2004 election debacle. It concluded that voters with incomes between $30,000 and $75,000 a year, or almost half the electorate, delivered “healthy victories” for President Bush and Republicans in Congress. The report concludes: “Rather than being the party of the middle class, Democrats face a huge crisis with middle-income voters.”
Why is that? One reason is that the party of FDR and JFK no longer seems to have a moderate wing; they have become doughnut Democrats with no middle. This point is best exemplified by the utter collapse of Democrats in the South.
