Democratic delegates are meeting in Denver this week to formally nominate their next presidential candidate, but the party already has cast its vote in favor of Madison Avenue. That's the conclusion of a comprehensive analysis of the different demographic, lifestyle, and perhaps most significantly, the media habits and advertising attitudes separating registered members of the DNC and their rivals in the Grand Old Party.
