By Selwyn Duke Fourteen years ago, I wrote a piece titled “Does the GOP’s Demographic Death Spiral End in a Texas Graveyard?” Its theme was that demographic and cultural changes were making it increasingly difficult for Republicans to win national elections. And once these factors turned Texas “blue,” the GOP would be singin’ the blues. That is,…

By Selwyn Duke In 2000, candidate John Loew pursued a novel way to gain an advantage in his Los Angeles County assessor’s race. He legally changed his name to John Lower Taxes Loew so that it would thus appear on the ballot. He ultimately wasn’t the winner, though. But he was something else: a piker…
