[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about this graphic from the Daily Kos showing the decline of the Democratic party? Not a pretty sight:

There's really not much you can do about that since the state houses are largely based on counties.  Young people and democrats don't live in counties.  As cities continue to fill up with democrats there's really nothing you can do.[/quote]

Given what you state above how come Democrats were in a dominant position after the 2008 election?

[b]Because historically, party control in State governments goes the opposite way of party control in Federal government.[/b]
So after 8 years of Bush we had it one way, and after 8 years of Obama, the other way.

Even now, there are many &gt;60%  Americans that *still* say we are &quot;on the wrong track&quot;. After switching track completely!
According to Americans, we are always on the wrong track no matter who is in charge, and so we flip back and forth in political parties without ever having a clue of what's really going on economically and socio-politically. Similar craziness to the fact that after voting in people campaigning on repeal of Obamacare people are now &quot;liking it more&quot;- flipping polls from before the election- or don't know it's the same think as ACA (approximately 50% of Republicans).

No matter which party or worldview you espouse, this is crazy!
