1972 reflected the initial failure of the Democrats' attempt to break free from their New Deal coalition roots and pull together a "Social Change coalition" based on young people, minorities, and middle to upper-middle-class liberals (Mark Stricherz summarizes this well in "Why the Democrats Are Blue"). That tactic fell really flat in 1972 when organized labor was a large base for the party and found itself suddenly cast aside. However, with the decline of organized labor and the increasing adoption of cultural liberalism, it's become the Democratic strategy since.
