Have fun Republicans

[Gustaf]

The Republican advantage in presidential elections is decreasing rather than the other way around, IMHO.

From 1968 until 1988, roughly, the GOP had a lock on the presidency. What we've seen in the 90s is merely this national trend hitting the state level and thus affecting congress. On the presidential level the Democrats are looking a lot better now than they did 15 years ago. That's why we're not entering an era of GOP domination. Trend-wise, we're leaving it, even though we won't realize that until some time has passed.

Yay, someone agreed with my analysis!

I think Democrats are actually in much better shape than people think, primarily b/c Republicans are

a) too pleased with themselves

b) have been too successfull (linked to a)

c) too used to not having to reach out
