COTTonLINE has repeatedly discussed the party realignment that has happened over the past 5 years, give or take. The Democrats, formerly the party of the working man and woman, have been captured by the upper middle and upper classes. Feeling abandoned, many former Democrats have become Republicans.
I just read a decent article discussing this realignment by Shane Devine at American Consequences, hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link. Not that I agreed with everything written there, but it was mostly on target and worth your time.
