109. Your above post undermines your OP comments on the Nostradamus' out there.

which I thought was a very valid argument. While I think I could make a case that candidate A would be more electable in the GE than candidate B, I would never characterize either as "unelectable," since I can't see the future.

The word "always" doesn't allow for a change in dynamic. However, if one looks at the long time histories of both parties, we have seen changes in dynamics. Trent Lott used to be a Democrat, for instance, as did Ronald Reagan.

I realize this is a quibble but i think it is important to realize and continue to express that none of us can foresee the future.
