It is divided, not necessarily along political lines, but along the lines of as a cultural and social levels. I see it as a changing of the guard. I see it as the country shedding it's skin and ushering a new era of citizens, voters, philosophies and ideologies. This was obvious in the primaries, with the democratic ticket and with the Reps VP pick to name a few. You can also look at some elected official like Arnold and Jesse Ventura as more evidence of this new outlook. Whether it's right or wrong, I don't think anyone can deny this..
Baby boomers have been running this country for the last 50 years for the most part and I think statistic show that they are now beginning to decline giving rise to the generations from the 60's and 70's. Its basically old vs new, change (not political change, but social and cultural moreso) vs what we're accustomed to. Not all change is good. Not everything that's old is bad. Whichever way you look at it, we're definitely in a period of transition in this country..
