The Greatest Myth
Reading the work of so many columnists you might think that the last election represents a tectonic shift in the electorate. That is the greatest of many myths promulgated by the pundit class. The truth is:
47 OUT OF EVERY 100 VOTERS CAST THEIR BALLOTS AGAINST OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The GOPpers are not out and they are barely down. In most states the number of registered Republicans is only about 33% of all registered voters. The GOP's appeal to both its card carrying members and its cadre of independents remains strong and threatens real change.
Our work ain't done yet folks.

Sorry. I'm still trippin' that over 52% of America voted in a Black man named Barack Hussein Obama - I know he is more than that, but if you had told me this a year ago I would have slapped you into reality. However, I am not one of those people shouting that Repubs are dead. They got their asses handed to them, so they'll be back....someday. The impact of his win is immeasurable and has yet to be seen. No poll, no op-eds, nothing can diminish November 4, 2008.
