A Conspectus of Today’s Democratic Party
http://stromata.typepad.com/ stromata_blog/ 2008/ 05/ a-conspectus-of.htmlThe fortunes of political parties bob up and down. The Republican Party seemed all but dead after the elections of 1936, 1964 and 1974. In 1946, 1952, 1980, 1994 and 2002, it seemed on the way to permanent majority status. Today it is “dead” again.
