class or race?

[Torie]

I've always wondered: are elections more of a function or racial or class divisions? The idea is you name your home state and say whether the electorate is racially driven or class driven. I'll start:

California is mostly class driven.

These days, it is more a function of overall world view - and a sense of just who you are, and with whom you want to identify. Style has moved out of the fashion salon. That may change, as standards of living stagnate or decline.
