More generally, he cites the acceptance of diversity in California as the reason why the Tea Party’s success did not reach the Left Coast. The GOP needs to see this or be left behind. Someone like Marco Rubio or Susana Martinez cannot win you the White House in 2012, 2016 and certainly not 2020 if statewide candidates like Sharon Angle, Jan Brewer or Tom Tancredo are working hard to cement your ceiling of support with Latinos at 33%.<br><br>I think that sooner rather than later we’ll look back on 2010 and recognize the Tea Party as simply a new name for the typical midterm voters of any other year: older, wealthier, and more conservative whites.<br><br>I’m not saying that Tea Partiers are all homophobic and xenophobic; but older, wealthier, and more conservative whites don’t represent the future of American elections. The 2010 wave was an aftershock of the politics of the past, not a sign of a coming tsunami of growth for Republicans. California represents our future socially and politically because the values of Millennials will dominate the future. America will be more diverse and more accepting because those are the values of twenty-somethings. Consider the polling of active duty military on DADT: a healthy majority, 70 percent, support serving alongside openly gay soldiers because the military is dominated by a more progressive generation.<br><br>For their own good, the GOP needs to focus on winning elections that look like 2008 rather than 2010.<br>.<br><br><br><br><a href="http://raciality.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow"><strong>Raciality.com</strong></a><br><br>Vicente DuqueVicente Duquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.com
