Given a 100 year timeline does anyone know how long it takes a generation to go from Republican to Democrat or from Democrat to Republican? It may take a few generations for this to occur but I believe that it could take place. The problem nowadays is that there have been so many voting standards set in the .ast 20 years so that once someone today knows you belong to a certain political party it take some fast footwork to evade them in knowing whether you are Democrat or Republican.

40 years. It took that long to recover from Nixon and his debacle.

I don't know about parties. I just heard a study that said the Conservatives have a higher birth rate than Liberals. That would tend to cause a shift toward a greater percentage of Conservatives. I think it may be related the the fact that Liberals are more likely to support abortion and homosexual behavior. Both of these tend to reduce the birth rate.
