My point in posting that analysis wasn't to predict anything. It was to refute the myth that there's something transformative about the Obama coalition. That it looks demographically identical to Kerry's 2004 vote is the very opposite of transformative.

^^^^ CB: My point is if in the actual vote, the various demographics

vote differently than this poll predicts, maybe that _would_ be some

change ( "transformative" is so hopefully optimistically idealistic and naive) ___________________________________ http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/mailman/listinfo/lbo-talk
