@ron_fournier@johnmcquaid short term parties seem slow-moving but in medium/long term quite adaptive. that's why they have lasted so long -
@BrendanNyhan@johnmcquaid True. But you must agree that they haven't see change like this in 10 or 11 decades

@ron_fournier@johnmcquaid Also memories are very short & people are far more satisfied with govt as soon as econ picks up. remember Perot? -
@BrendanNyhan@johnmcquaid I do. What if Perot had the internet and Obama tech team in 92? What would his percentage have been? -
@ron_fournier@johnmcquaid hard to say - Clinton/Bush would have had too. (We still have no credible est. of natl '12 Obama tech effect btw) - End of conversation
