It’s all about demographics.
“Demos” are used every day to sell detergent, cars,
hamburgers, clothing, and basically everything Americans consume.
If you’ve bought anything online lately you’ve likely
been asked to participate in a survey supposedly rating their
service, “to make sure we perform to your
satisfaction.” But more times than not there are questions
regarding your lifestyle, age, sex, etc. This data is collected by
the merchant to help them understand who their market really is and
that is of value to their marketing department as they strategize
how to win market share.
The Democrats have also done their own research and
figured out who their “clients” are, where they live,
and the issues that are their hot buttons. For them, it is simple,
really. The Democratic constituents live in the big
cities. Click on the 2008 presidential election map
from the Washington Post and you’ll see it was
the big cities that put Obama on the map.
If you added up the land mass of every blue and red county
you’d see something really
striking—the Republicans won 80 percent of this
country, when measured by acreage. John McCain got a majority of
votes in 2,417,000 square miles of the United States. Barack Obama,
by comparison, won in just 580,000 square miles.
Ah, but now let’s look at the population
numbers for each county. McCain still came out ahead, but not by
much. The total population of counties won by Republicans was 143
million, while the population of counties won by Democrats was 127
million.
Basically, the Democrats swept the populations
centers—the cities and more populated suburban
areas—while the Republicans won everything else.

So how did the Democrats win the big cities? Simple. By
identifying the key issues of importance to their constituents.
The “have-nots” in those cities are interested
in handouts. Give them money and you win their votes. But
you can’t win an election only with the have-nots. You need
the monied and educated class. The
“haves” in those cities are interested in the
environment.
It’s easy to sell the “haves” on environmental
issues. Most Americans have little contact with pollution. Much of
our country is sparsely inhabited where pollution is non-existant,
but the voters live in the big cities which they themselves pollute
as these two maps from Pollution Scorecard illustrate:

By giving more electoral votes to the cities where Demo-crats
control the “Demos,” the outcome is certain. Just like
retailers know exactly what to offer their customers and control
their market, the Democrats know how to control the election. If
the rest of the country is interested in avoiding Democratic
despotism they better get involved in the political process in a
profound and persistent manner. It’s going to take more than
laundry detergent to clean up this mess.
