If demography is destiny, then all the more reason to pay attention to demographic trends. AEI and the Brookings Institution brought back their "Red, Blue, and Purple America" conference series on June 12 with an event on election demographic trends in the 2008 elections--and how they are shaping up for the 2010 and 2012 elections. Like last year's event, this year's conference featured leading demographers, political scientists, and analysts, who examined the electoral impact of generational changes, alterations in class and family structure, minority voting patterns, changing urban-suburban mix, and shifts in religious belief.
