betmo: this was a great article that I never would have found, except for you. But, of course, that is nothing new, my friend.
The Sixties were a revolution. The Seventies and Eighties were right-wing reactions to the sea change of the Sixties. The Nineties were a bit of a swing to the Left again. The year 2000 brought another Right-Wing swing, the last gasp for a long time, I think. The Evangelical movement is no longer in charge and Obama will be swept along by young people who see this as their unique moment in the sun. Shades of the Sixties!
Thanks again for stimulating me to consolidate my thoughts on this. There's probably a blog post in here.
