I have trouble buying into any fundamental paradigm shifts out of this election considering the situations surrounding it -- people flocking to the democratic party when it runs one of the most charismatic leaders in a generation under the absolute best climate for a political party since at least Nixon doesn't necessarily indicate a real substantial shift in the politics and views of our country so much as a movement that could be isolated to Obama and evaporate as soon as the glow dies down and the democrats have to run someone's who's name isn't Barack.
Having blown it with Gore and Kerry previously, this is quite possible. There's no guarantee at all that once Obama is termed out the Democrats can come up with a winner. Even so I expect they'll still be on the better side of history.
Back to the blog article, I understand the identification of the GOP with guns, and god, but gays? What's he talking about? Anti-gay sentiments, I suppose?
