Discuss the political realignment of the Democratic and Republican parties from the early 1960s through the 1990s. You should begin by very briefly describing the electoral base of both parties at the beginning of the 1960s. From there, describe the political, social, and economic forces that dramatically transformed the two parties beginning with the 1964 presidential election through the presidency of Bill Clinton. Your answer must include specific events, people, and organizations that contributed to the political realignment of the Democratic and Republican parties.
