30. I'll give you the answer and it ain't a nice one
Power...

It slipping...

The last time anything even close to this happened was... 1960 when a new generation took over from the old

This is a political realignment from the right (and extreme right) to the center and the left

No... Obama is not more liberal than she is... they're both centrists

But...

She is DLC he is not... and the DLC sees their power slipping

First came Dean... fifty state policy, instead of the Southern Strategy she's using... which is Nixonian... if it ever was... in some ways worst than even Rove and Bush in 2000

It is all about the power struggle we all have been seeing to the fore

THey didn't think Obama was a threat... and when they realized he was... it was too late.

I think historians in years to come will confirm most of this
