    That's what they said about Republicans in 2002, back when Bush was a lame-duck walking into office and everyone predicted a Dem landslide in response.

    Then 9/11 changed everything.

    So... we'll see. The new Democratic Political Machine seems like it is gobbling up a lot of the old GOP infrastructure. If the Bloombergcrats and Meg Whitmancrats do finally drive a wedge far enough into the party that it splits off, we could see a Cuomo-o-cracy in our future.

      2002

      fair point but I think you meant 2000 or early 2001 here

        Well, Bush won in 2000 and Dems expected to get the pendulum reactionary response in 2002.

        Then 9/11 happened in 2001, Republicans got a huge boost in popularity, and Dems were massacred in the following election cycle.

          That’s what they said about Republicans in 2002

          Then 9/11 changed everything

          my point is that this chronologically puts 2002 before 2001

          EDIT: OHHH I see it can be read another way. I retract my comments sorry
