I host a daily public affairs radio show in San Francisco called Your Call. It airs from 11 am - noon PST on KALW 91.7 FM. I am also happy to report that I recently got a book deal with PoliPoint Press to write about my road trip through the heartland and the interviews I did with people about why they vote the way they do (or not). It's scheduled to be out in September.
"I would dearly love for the Democrats to spend millions of dollars trying to persuade NASCAR fans to vote for the Democrats. They tend to be disproportionately southern, disproportionately white and disproportionately male, which pretty well defines the core of the Republican Party."

I'm currently writing a book about my recent six-month road trip to the so-called "red states." I also report for KALW 91.7 FM in San Francisco, AlterNet and Bay Area BusinessWoman.

Am I missing something here? Is this not true? (Not to mention even remotely newsworthy?)
You should check out the campaign contribution list of NASCAR drivers and fans to political campaigns. They overwhelmingly support Republicans across the board.
Just as it would be madness for Democrats to sink big bucks into the NASCAR demographic, it would likewise be madness for Republicans to drop millions of dollars into persuading gangsta rap fan demographic to vote Republican.
It's the Big Middle that both parties spend the bulk of their resources trying to influence. Just watch Ned Lamont these next few months if you have any doubts.
