When watching virtually any election coverage on any national network the anchors will breathlessly be wondering aloud about the "fate" of the losing party. When Carter got into the White House the media was SURE that this was the end of the Repubs. When Reagan got in they were SURE that this was the death of the Dems and on and on. If Obama trips on his dick with this economic program the Repubs will be back by 2010 and the media will once again be shoveling dirt on the grave of the Dem party. Nothing and nobody is #1 forever.
