In your discussion of the bitter clash between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton you mention the famous political divide between “wine-track” and “beer-track” Democrats (“Obamaworld versus Hillaryland,” March 8, 2008). According to you, the former are associated with Obama and the latter with Clinton. If this is correct, a bold prediction is in order. Even a generation ago there were only two kinds of wine to be had in the States: white and red. Both were dreadfully sweet. Besides, one could tell them apart only by color. Just a few decades later, the country is a major exporter of fine wines. To wit, Obama is sure to win the presidential elections, if not now, then in four years’ time. The wine-track constituency is undoubtedly on the steady rise across the land.
