The whole country is going to become like Calfornia, both demographically and POLITICALLY.

WASHINGTON - For as long as there has been an America, whites have made up a clear majority. But that will change by 2050 when minority groups will be 49.9 percent of the population, the Census Bureau (news - web sites) says.

Asians and Hispanics will see the most dramatic increases between now and midcentury, when the U.S. population will have grown by almost 50 percent to reach 420 million, according to bureau projections being released Thursday.

America will get older, too. Nearly 21 percent of its residents will be age 65 or older, compared with 12 percent now.

The data highlight trends long predicted. But racial and ethnic changes are taking shape faster than expected, due in large part to higher-than-forecast immigration rates for Asians and Hispanics, said Greg Spencer, a bureau demographer.

1. If you are interested in political demographics
I suggest you check out Ruy Teixeira's site. It always gives me hope.

4. They hated Gray.
Even my democrat #3 son hated him. Was very upset with him. Didn't vote. Thinks Arnold is a jerk.

3. Once we're a rightwing totalitarian state, with rigged voting machines
it won't matter what our demographics are. The fix will be permanently in. Unless we p.o. the rest of the world enough, and they "liberate" ala Iraqgate, us, we're stuck with this rightwing coup. The idea of civil disobedience is a joke. Those who disobey will be eliminated.
