I'm comparing the assumptions now (shortly after Obama was elected) with the assumptions then (shortly after Carter was elected. My reference was post-election 'they voted for change and got Jimmy Carter' ).
They thought after electing Carter that a long line of subsequent presidents would ALSO be Democrats.
Instead:
Reagan
Reagan
Bush
Clinton
Clinton
Bush
Bush
Thank you for clarifying that. I was going off your statement, "after the Nixon scandal", so it seemed appropriate to include Carter in the list. One might also point out that your list would be "after the Iran hostage crisis", which was a seminal event as well.

Carter's unprecedented intrusion into the private economy (and it's horrible results), his weakness in dealing with terrorists, and his attempts at restricting energy use were the key to his defeat.
Lets bring back Conde Rice, she had a long list of successes as our previous Secretary of State and I am told that Obama wants to bring in more Republicans.
I have to assume this is a planted story by some of Hilary's critics within the White House to marginalize her or send her a message that she has to be a good solider.
With the Pubs, the insurance companies will just drop you as usual instead of talking to you.
I ain't been dropped yet. Neither has any member of my family. We can't be dropped unless everyone similarly situated is also dropped which would seriously erode the several companie's customer bases.

I think there is something underfoot in the WH with regards to Hillary.
For such and outspoken person Hillary is taking a quiet back seat to Obama.
Hillary is not forging relationships, Obama is.
Obama goes to Russia and where's Hillary a week later..in Mumbai surrounded by dancing women. Something is wrong with this picture.
Hillary couldn't go to Russia because of her elbow yet one or two weeks later she's jetting around the world. Obama couldn't wait 2 weeks to go to Russia with Hillary ?
And now this coming out of the WH. Something is going on but only time will tell us what it really is.
She probably has ideas of her own. That's dangerous.
I'm no Hillary fan, but I do think she is being marginalized and minimalized and that she doesn't walk in lock step with Obama, and he doesn't like that. She's way too smart and talented to stay on with these clowns. I personally hope she steps down and runs against him in 2012. I don't care for some of her policies, but I do respect her, and she is certainly more reasonable than King Barrack.
Personally, I find all of this fairly amusing
Obama has his haughty head up his ass and is behaving stupidly,
Hillary and Bill are plotting and planing for 2012, and the repubs and holding their breaths
if they had any smarts, they would step back and let Obama and his hacklings fight it out, they are
sinking fast, each one looking at the polls drop like a rock and wondering what the heck happened.

I'm no fan either, but Hillary is starting to look good to me now.
She should pull a "Palin". I think even her and Bill have more respect for America and Americans than the current administration does in either foreign or domestic affairs.
well, we certainly don't want our secretaries of state to hope for triumphs of democracy, now do we?
triumphs for democracy in american terms, is same as elation for white pedophiles at a southeast asian orphanage !!!
