"By 2008, 35% of all television viewers and 50% of registered voters will have digital video recorders," says Simon Rosenberg, president of the New Democrat Network (NDN), an advocacy group that introduces Democrats to new-media strategies--or tries to anyway.

African-Americans are also statistically more likely to attend church and be active in their religious...
