Democrats Won. We Won. Get It?

I know some friends of mine really respect Tom Edsall's work, and maybe he was good once. I don't see it. I read some of his book 'Building Red America', and it was an analytically useless description of why the Republicans will always maintain a narrow majority. His book was uninformed by economics, and featured glib observations like 'The Republicans are the coalition of the dominant'. Just looking at the acknowledgments, where he thanks his sources and friends, should give you an indication that this guy doesn't have a connection to non-Beltway denizens.
