This year’s realignment election of the century

NewMexiKen can remember going to a Poli Sci class the morning after LBJ’s landslide against Goldwater in 1964 and hearing the professor tell us how it was the end of the Republican Party. With that hindsight, I have found the talk about this year’s realignment and the end of the Republican Party pretty amusing.

Every Saturday’s big game has to be the biggest game ever. Every election where one party replaces the other has to be the end of the losing party.

Nate Silver has somewhat the same reaction.
