Vote with the DTs

Trendspotters are onto the new dynamo for the 2008 election!

DTs — daddytrackers, not a beer, band or ailment — are erupting like Mount Gamkonora as a key political demo in the upcoming elections. It was soccermoms in 2000 and Nascardads for 2004, but now it is sensitive, responsible males for 2008. Today's Boston Globe story (registration required) on the increasing number of phallocentric one-parent families is a little more blah-blah than gaga. Still, this follows on the "discovery" that males have work-life issues, even in the animal kingdom.
