The pendulum swings one way, then another. All hope is not lost....perhaps delayed, but not lost.

I see this more in terms of the Hegelian or Marxist Dialectic. We get a leftist thesis, a week and delayed conservative counter-thesis, and a synthesis moved further to the left.

We now have Obama and Hillary representing a new thesis, and we have no response. 4 or 8 years fro mnow, the Synthesis will be leftist.
