To: null and void
"Two short political cycles later, that coalition was in tatters — a casualty of antiwar and countercultural excesses and the near absolute takeover of the party by elites devoted to a more radical extension of liberal policies than could be countenanced by the voters who normally animated Democratic turnout."

The pendulum swings. In 1964 voters gave LBJ JFK's second term, thinking he would be "moderate". Instead, the left went nuts and blew it big time in '68 and '72. Too bad if the liberal kooks get back into power this cycle. With overt marxist Obama they may just have gone overboard again.
