Hi Alea,

Very nicely stated, what I enjoy the most about entrenched positions is their inability to identify seeds of change. Two individuals can look at the same social phenomena and see multiple outcomes. Although no one can predict future outcomes with any degree of certainty, we can look at exit polling data and extract voter sentiment.

The crux of my earlier posts in the last two weeks and tonights exchange is simply that the seeds of change have already been planted. One only needs to look at the economic disconnect to see that this factor alone carries the power of a motivated electorate seeking a different approach and maybe a new vision to take on america's problems.

It in many ways reminds me of the Reagan-Mondale election. Mondale was a decent person, excellent track record but could not hold the tidal forces of political change at bay. America was emerging from a generation of perceived failure on both domestic and economic policies on the watch of the democratic party. America believed the Reagan revolution needed another term to get the job done, and remember the first two plus years of Reagan's first term were an unraveling of the stagflation of the late 70's. It really did not matter who the democrats put up against Reagan, it looks like McCain has drawn the same very short sacrificial lamb straw. The Electoral vote outcome in November will not be the landslide of 84, but it appears that if 4-8 red states swing it will be a decisive win no matter how Bill O'irrationality spins it.
