Where the Votes Are

Mainstream Democrats must feel pretty strange about where the party is trying to mine voters. What does all this say about the direction and appeal of the party?

Pandering to MTV viewers is bad enough, but at least the voters they were courting were presumed to be of legal age, though intellectually stunted. Now, there's a bill co-sponsored by four Democrats that would allow 14 year olds to vote. Add to this the movement to get that much coveted demographic of convicted felons. Knowing this it should come of no surprise who goes after the mentally impaired?
