Reid Wilson has an interesting list of surprises and facts from the 2008 election over at RCP, including the map above, significantly bluer than its 2004 counterpart. In 2004, President Bush got 3-4 million Democrats to vote for him; it seems that these voters were merely on loan, and they would appear to have returned to the Democrat side. How quickly things change. We’ll have to see whether the incoming administration squanders its gifts as quickly and decisively as the outgoing group. Other than that, a pretty slow news day. The re-appearance of this sort of story would appear to be proof enough of that.
