In many ways I am more liberal than I was 10-15 years ago. At least in that I am more aware of what I believe in and why. Then again, I don't have a mortgage or kids - maybe that's the entry point for conservatism.

Yes, but I want to focus more on living demographics on this.

My first premise is that middle class individuals living in urban areas tend to vote more democrat while suburban and rural middle class individuals tend to vote more republican.

My second premise is that I am predicting that middle class demographics will become more and more urban for various reasons.

Using basic logic, it would tell us that the middle class will be become more democrat.

Which would also tell us that the current type of small town conservatism we see with Palin and McCain will become completely overpowered by the urban population.

So, in order to stay alive, a new type of conservatism will need to arise in the next few decades.

My second argument is very similar.

The first premise is that people of color tend to vote democrat.

The second premise is that with immigrants and new borns, people of color will have larger numbers than whites.

So, conservatism will need to change in that respect as well.

My two very broad predictions.

How did your state manage without her for these past couple months? Did everything fall apart?
