Everytime I turn on the television or read the newspaper, there is some pundit/journalist talking about how the democratic party can get back into the game by understanding some invented class of Americans: South Park Conservatives, Nascar Dads, or some other invented category of (primarily red-state) Americans. David Brooks has basically made a career of making caricatures of the South and mid-west-not to mention the effete liberals that apparently populate the whole of the north-east and west coasts. The lastest article in this vein is Matt Bai's King of the Hill Democrats where he explains how according to Mike Easley (my own governor) Democrats need to understand King of Hill viewers.
