The predictions in this 1996 book look startlingly accurate in the wake of this week's rout of the Democrats.

They lost Massachusetts to a Mormon! They lost Maryland with a Kennedy! A double whammy for Teddy and friends.

More like another "foul" bunt on strike three Timesink.
Peggy Noonan has been swimming "in the tank" for quite some time now. I'm surprised you haven't noticed.
Did you see her on MSNBC on election night??? As Imus and others said, "she looked nuts." At any moment I expected her to say, "Where's my precious? Who has my precious!"
The self-described "non-Democrat" could not have been more wrong about this election prior to us going to the polls. She's about as out-of-touch as you would expect one to be if they had locked themselves in their Manhattan apartment for months at a time like she has. And she has all of the insight you might expect of a NewYorker whose role in life seems to be that of the "house conservative" at trendy lefty dinner parties.

Good comments.

I just read the first part, so maybe she corrected herself further down, but in fact the Dems FOUGHT a civil rights bill for decades. The Republicans introduced civil rights bills and the Dems would fillibuster them out. Not until LBJ decided to back one did it get passed, and even then way more Republicans voted for it than Democrats.
Now, I'll go finish the article.

Okay. I've read it all. What the Democrats REALLY ought to do is follow the lead of Zell Miller. Hillary Clinton? THAT would energize the Republicans and every single decent person registered Democrat.
Just why is Noonan so interested in helping the Democrats?
