You know how I said yesterday that....
....this is, I think, one of those rare instances in which Allahpundit's trademark pessimism is perhaps unwarranted. No, I don't think the Dem nominee - whoever that is - will fail to carry California next year, but if it is Hillary, and the GOP has the collective sense to nominate Scott Walker, and if Barack Obama allows the election to take place, I think the "built-in Democrat Electoral College" conventional wisdom will be Hulk-busted wide open.
And you know how they say that where Britain is today, America will be tomorrow (or words to that effect)?
Accordingly, is not this cause for the Right to be optimistic and bullish about 2016?:
British Prime Minister David Cameron prepared to form a new government Friday morning while an ashen Labor Party leader Ed Miliband conceded defeat after voters defied predictions of a deadlocked election and put the Conservative Party on the cusp of a majority in Parliament. …
The Conservatives were on the cusp of an outright majority by taking 325 seats in the 650-member parliament and were likely to [and did] increase its total in the final count, the British Broadcasting Corporation reported Friday.
But Cameron’s party effectively had crossed the majority threshold. In practice, controlling 323 seats in parliament is enough because four lawmakers from Northern Ireland’s Sinn Fein refuse to take part in parliament.
What was the conventional wisdom? That the Tories were in trouble, that Labor had insurmountable advantages, and that Muzzie-loving Ed Miliband was inevitable.
Didn't turn out that way, did it? So with the right candidate....
....why can't the GOP win its biggest presidential landslide in twenty-eight years?
Ed Morrissey's exit quip sounds like a sneak-preview of Election night 543 days from now:
That’s pretty remarkable for a party that pollsters had all but buried just twenty-four hours earlier.
