Just wondering… would Politico have called it ’ demographic frankness’ if say, George Bush had made this blatant an appeal to his voter base in ‘02?

Call it whatever you like…he knows he needs them in the coming elections. And you know what? He would probably have them without even making such an ad. The republicans have ostracized anyone who isn’t older and white, especially this past year. It’s so bad that my registered republican (Cuban!) wife is changing her party to democrat and plans to give them her vote in November. Do you realize how BAD the republicans have to be for a Cuban to go democrat? She’s like Charles and left the right for the same reasons.
