"The Vanishing Democrat Voter"...

Remember back in 2002, Ruy Teixeira published a book called "The Emerging Democratic Majority"?

Well, over at WILLisms.com, Will Franklin takes a detailed look at the numbers since then and is finding Teixeira to be a prime candidate for the award for worst political prediction ever.

Teixeira is just bad at this stuff. There's almost no other way to put it. He stinks up the place with his spot-off political analysis.

The reason for his incessant (and increasingly hilarious) mistakes: he is a Democrat apologist living through a "rolling Republican realignment."

And it only looks to get worse for Democrats in the coming years, as Franklin's analysis of demographic patterns bears out.

Maybe Texeira is starting to understand that his thesis is indefensible; however, if he really "got it," he'd revise his book and change the title to something like The Vanishing Democrat Voter.
