Demographics are destiny. The blue future for Texas and Florida is certain. The question is when.
Here is a big idea for today. Texas Democrats, Florida Democrats and national Democrats should begin a huge and historic drive for voter registration modeled after the Freedom Summer of the 1960s, beginning this summer. It should involve massive donations from wealthy Texas, Florida and national Democrats and super-PACS. It should excite a dramatic new mobilization of grassroots action from Organizing for America and groups representing Hispanics, women, labor, liberals, blacks and young people. It should be supported by a mobilization of entertainers such as Willie Nelson and Bruce Springsteen and stars crossing every genre and appealing to every audience.
