We had a national political consultant visit the Naugas a couple of days ago. She is taking a brief rest, then plans to rejoin the fray leading up to the November elections.
During the Democratic presidential contest this year, we heard a lot about two previously-unknown groups. They are Dunkin Donuts Democrats and Starbucks Democrats.
The Dunkin folks supported Hillary Clinton, the Starbucks Democrats supported Barack Obama. The idea is that her base was the common people, and his was the more elite.
Our guest was of the Dunkin Donuts persuasion.
Does she think that John McCain, the Republican nominee, will resurrect the Starbucks label for the Presidential race? He hasn’t as of this writing, but we’ve got almost 5 months of hard-fought politics ahead so it could happen.
