The question is do the soccer moms eat chicken and NASCAR dads drink coffee? At the same time? Only our punditocracy can sort it out for us and tell us what it all means:
"Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd on Sunday described the 2014 midterm elections as a battle between "Starbucks nation" and "Chick-Fil-A country."
He split the U.S. into the Democratic urban areas that drink Starbucks and the Republican rural areas that eat Chick-Fil-A.
According to Todd, there are a few Senate seats up for grabs in Chick-Fil-A-loving states like Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia, giving Republicans the advantage. And he said that the major battlegrounds are Colorado and Iowa.
He said that Democrats will need to deploy major get-out-the-vote efforts in urban centers. Perhaps at Starbucks?
Wait. I thought we'd decided that it was Cracker Barrel country and Le Pain Quotidien nation. Or was it the Biscuitville empire vs the Tender Greens tribe? It's so hard to keep up. Thank goodness we still have such important insights Meet the Press so we can understand the political complexities of this great land of ours.
