So who is the RNC's "base"?Both parties have a voter base. These are the people who can be counted on to support their party's candidates without much risk of defection. The key to electoral success is capturing voters outside the party's base. The main bases for each party, with some overlap between categories are: Democrats - Minorities Single women SWPL's* Jews Academics Public employee union members Republicans - Married men Evangelical/fundamentalist Protestants Mormons Small "L" libertarians Affluent business and professional people * = people with many of the Stuff White People Like characteristics.
