Georgetown Democrats
Friday, April 08, 2005
A lot of anti-Dean folks are gloating over a recent study that suggests Dean's core supporters are primarily white, middle-aged, middle class, secular, and left wing. Bull Moose gets a few jabs in about the Deaniac's claims to moral superiority, dubbing them"Latte Liberals."So let me get this straight. Dean brings in a ton of activists, and for this you're blaming him? Why, because political activists generally tend to be white middle class ideologues? Because I might remind you that the people who have been running the party for years happen to be about a dozen rich white male lawyers sitting around a bottle of scotch in a Georgetown salon. How representative are they of the average Democratic voter? What are they, like .00001% of the population?
Give me a break.
