What If Obama Isn't A Game Changer?: "University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato. There are four elements needed for a major political shift, Sabato argues:
'(1) A crisis of confidence that causes Americans to reconsider their voting patterns; (2) new voters brought into the electorate that change the composition of the voting public; (3) a successful Presidency that confirms the gamble voters take in the first election breaking with past practice; and (4) successor Presidencies from the new coalition that continue and build upon the successes of the breakthrough President.'"
A tall order; very sobering. A lot has to happen, and a lot of that has to happen in sync with a whole lot of other things.
