We got Johnson because of Lee Harvey Oswald.
We got Carter because of Watergate.
We got Clinton the first time because of Perot.
We got Clinton the second time because of Perot and Dole.
We got Obama the first time because of McCain.
We'll get Obama the second time because of Romney.

You have to got waaaaaaay back to before I was born to find a Democrat who won an election because people actually liked him. I think you might have to go back to JFK -- but plenty of people say he stole the election from Nixon. So maybe you have to go back to Harry Truman.

People just don't like Democrats. But we still get them.

Odd, ain't it?

We got Johnson because Johnson had Kennedy hit. Oswald, the lone nut assassin, who was killed by a lone nut assassin (sure) is nothing but a fairy tale the msm has told the American people about for fifty years.

Just sayin’

Great points, but I imagine someone on the other side could make similar assertions:

We got Nixon because of Johnson and Vietnam (in 1968)

We got Ford because of Nixon

We got Reagan because of Carter (i.e. Carter sucked)

We got Bush 1 because of Dukakis

We got Bush 2 because of Gore

Ofcourse, you could point to Nixon-Reagan 49-state landslides, but those were re-elections.

"People just don't like Democrats" may be too simplistic, and perhaps ok in an echo chamber like FR, just like I can imagine similar observations ("People just hate Republicans") at Upper East Side cocktail parties...
