Thus, over time, high-turnout seniors, currently the most conservative part of the electorate by age, will be liberalized as Baby Boomers age.
ROFLMAO! Exactly what century are you living in? must be the same one Joe Biden resides in since the baby boomers are already "SENIORS" or soon to be "SENIORS".... the vast bulk of the boomers were born between the end of 1945 (the peak birth rate) and 1958 (the fall off in boomer birth rates), do the math.
Historically people don't get more "liberal" as they age they get more "conservative", which probably explains why the Democrats are so desperate to import new citizens from 3rd world countries (the gub'mint run nanny state plantation apparently needs to import new blood to sucker into dependency).
"'Folks, where's it written we cannot lead the world in the 20th century in making automobiles" -- Joe Biden, August 2012
This would be true, but the republicans also want to privatize social security, or cut the benefits, freeze Medicare payments to doctors, etc. etc. Us democrats depend on the republicans to drive away pretty much everybody sooner or later.
Thus, over time, high-turnout seniors, currently the most conservative part of the electorate by age, will be liberalized as Baby Boomers age. Moreover, the most liberal part of the generation those born up through 1955 and termed early Boomers is frontloaded, so the political impact on the senior population could be fairly rapid.
So, the changing location, education levels, and age of the electorate suggest why the Republicans long-term disadvantages arent so bad as most people think. Theyre worse.

Doesn't really matter, the Republicans will just promise the Boomers whatever it is they want , after all the Baby Boomers have already demonstrated they're perfectly willing to bankrupt every generation that comes after them until the end of time as long as they get what they want.
The Democrats on the other hand have demonstrated that they're willing to bankrupt EVERYBODY as soon as possible as long as they get to be the ones to decide who gets to keep the scraps.
It will however be interesting to see which party wins the race to "ultimate stupidity" ....
Yeah I know ....Hey, bankruptcy is our game plan!
We democrats were secretly behind Enron, Goldwin Sacks, GM, Chrysler, etc., etc. It was easy, because President Bush wasn't paying attention at the time!
Demographic shifts have nothing to do with the troubles in the republican party.
If you're having trouble with 100% of existing demographics, then however they happen to 'shift' is pretty irrelevant.
What?
Land does not vote
People vote
Latinos seldom vote. Even in their own countries. They can be moved to vote for the person who promises more than anyone else.
I hope the demographic shift will bring sanity to this country instead of bull shit. More science, more education more common sense.
Let the bull shit go away!

With a shift toward Hispanics you can kiss science and education a permanent goodbye. Do you see much of either in any Spanish speaking country?
