1. Did Carville come up with the titles for those demographics?

I love 'em. And they fit.

(I will forgive you for being a Longhorn if you will forgive me for being an Aggie. :toast:

3. I Forgive You

Its very easy to forgive you after we eliminated the aggs at the Big XII Tournament yesterday.:)

I don't really think Carville came up with the names. None of them are described as "Gumbo-Eating.":D

4. I loved that.

This maybe the single most enjoyable paper I've ever read.

I had to explain to a coworker what an F-You Boy is... I summed it up as follows:

"Yeah, the Republican party relies heavily on undereducated males that correlate masculinity to their vote. Those would be the F-You boys. Young men who think the world should be run through a series of "F-You" responses to both national, and international politics."

Does that sound right?

7. Exurbia

Edited on Fri May-28-04 06:16 PM by salonghorn70

As I understand the term, it refers to independent communities that are beyond a city's suberbs.

8. I noticed this at work.

I commute to DuPage County Illinois, much of which is a weird mix of affluence and churchie-ness one doesn't find in the rest of the state. Several workers who are conservative philosophically are pretty much disgusted with everything, particularly about the Iraq mess, and try to rationalize the dissapointment with Bush by claiming both candidates suck. I think this implies Bush's base may be difficult for the Republicans to juice up if I'm seeing this in what has been historically a very conservative area.
