Edsall describes a conservative movement of the socially dominant?relatively wealthy, white, and elderly?facing off against what demographics suggest will be an ever-expanding alliance of blacks, Hispanics, the young, the poor, and social-service providers. This right coalition stood, superficially at least, on the verge of being routed in January 2009. Instead, a mix of canny legislative strategies, Democratic errors, and sharp recession has put them back in the game. Now, Edsall writes, ?Republicans see the window closing on the opportunity to dismantle the liberal state.? They are determined to give it what they see as one last shot before they?re ?forced to accommodate changing demographics as proponents of big government gain traction.?
