The use of State and local government unions as electoral shock troops is the datum to watch. If those unions get transferred to Obamacare and Social Security during this administration it will tank the D party. Whether that rate of being thrown under the bus will hit critical mass in the next three years is the way to bet but it is not certain.Things switch back and forth like this quite frequently. The Reps took a hit with the shutdown. The Dems are taking a hit with Obamacare.
This is not surprising but I do not believe it will set the Dem party back a generation. That is a bit of an exaggeration.
You definitely could be right, although after Jimmy Carter, the Dems did not regain the White House for 12 years. They also lost control of Congress for much of that time.
Jimmy Carter was a good man who was just inept. He still did tremendous damage to the Democrat Party.
Obama is not a good man to say the least, who also happens to be inept. I think he does more damage than Carter, although that is only my speculation.
