Dads who hate Clinton and NASCAR? The New York Sun’s Karen Schwartz expounds “Grouchy Dads”:

Grouchy Dads voted for Clinton — at least in 1992 — and were genuinely excited by his optimistic progressivism. They did not stop thinking about tomorrow. But once tomorrow came, the worm began to turn. Grouchy Dads didn’t really care about gays in the military, but they were all steamed up about the “arrogance” of the first lady’s health care task force and its resulting plan.

Monica broke the camel’s back. Grouchy Dads across the land became irate. They were upstanding, successful professional men, men who, like Clinton, had risen to the ranks of the upper-middle class meritocratically, through intelligence and education. They prided themselves on the lives they’d lived, and the president’s tawdry behavior made them indignant. Monica could’ve been one of their daughters!

…

When it comes to Grouchy Dads, Bush’s genius is the fact that, though technically a Baby Boomer, he certainly never seemed like one.

Probably won’t swing any blue states, but hey.
