Drum on the Party Preference Chart

The Washington Monthly's Kevin Drum comments on an interesting NYT chart tracking party preference among 20-year-olds: "What's really most remarkable about the chart is the fantastic shift toward the Democrats in the 20-30 age group. The delta among this cohort between Democrats and Republicans is about 15 in the Democrats' favor, a bigger number than even the Vietnam/Watergate generation. It looks to me like the Christian right's social neanderthalism is causing the Republican Party to lose a generation forever."
