I remember a time, from 1956-1964, when Democrats were complaining because of Republicans winning three elections in a row. This is the fourth election in a row that the Democrats have won. Can I officially start complaining now?
I maintain that Atlamerica has a way of surprising us. It would not surprise me to see Perot win in either 1992 or 1996 (depending on who the Democrats and Republicans nominate). Also, with the right candidate and political environment, a Republican could still win (especially if Democratic fatigue sets in). I think the Pubs could've potentially won in 1980 with a Baker/Danforth ticket if Kennedy won the Democratic nomination (they'd have my vote had that been the case). Also, everyone thought the Democratic hegemony would begin with FDR, then we thought it would begin in 1960, I am not so sure it is as done a deal as some folks seem to think.
