Demographics

[Sematary]

Based on what I've seen and read over a period of time, it is quite obvious that the demographic we should be shooting for is younger (18-34), male (because they are the ones who see themselves as being the most effected by the war) and the disenfranchised of any age (harder to spot but easy to pick out in a conversation on politics). Younger people, especially, are important because they are voting more due to the war and because they are generally against the war. The necons may rule Washington today but in a generation, the Republican party won't recognize itself.

Ordinarily, parties fret about bringing in "new blood" and appealing to younger voters. The reform that would come from embracing the Ron Paul Revolution could be too disturbing to the Republican mainstream. They may let this opportunity slip away, and all of us drift back into 3rd parties (or stop voting) if Ron Paul is not nominated.

That could set the GOP back for a generation. Demogrphics are not headed their way, because usually the people reaching voting age sympathize more with CHANGE than the status quo. This has been a documented effect for a long time.
