I believe I must credit Sarah Palin for using this term. But Rand Paul must credit Rachel Maddow for giving him an even hand.
The Pre-Midterm Mandate: The Ed Effect Sometimes the Democrats ask too little.* I second Ed. And Stephanie Miller. Not to mention TeaParty of the Left?
There is a theory out there that slips my mind now, but if I have not recrafted it, mine is that the Republicans run down government and Democrats have an up hill battle.** Actually I just sharpened it a bit. But economically*** it is a serious theory, if you look at each of the past Democratic Presidents since Eisenhower. Each administration has had a lot to recover from, and have been progressively less timid in addressing the slide, yet increasingly needful of change. Careful change.

** and I don't mean the slippery tubbers(Cf)i.e. link and Ctrl F "tub"
*** Oh and my General(Mills) Eisenhower pun aside,(but not the inversion of the check mark), my theory actually covers the existence of the Democratic Party. I will simply say that since Vietnam there has only been Carter and Clinton while the Carter was not out of the shadow of debt he faced the energy crisis, Clinton failed to transcend the Reagan revolution. I think it hinges on the failure to understand Keynesian economics and the evolution of empires or power period.

Last nuance first: Milton Friedman was a Libertarian associated with the last two links in my post. Here I note the failure to balance ideas and that is the nature of the evolution. If there is not a replacement of Keynesian economics, there must be a proper handling of it. At the same time there was a failure to recognize it's limits or have any, let alone consider more basic tweaks.
Next to last nuance: Carter and Clinton had to face difficult economic challenges, not that they handled them sufficiently.
General Lee Third to last nuance it goes to the inverted* check mark (asymmetrical pendulum of history and economics) that represents the slippery slope and trickle down dymanics(sp!)
* flip-flopped or spun
[pardon me for the confederate reference but I will say that the cycle goes back to the war for "sovereignty", not to mention a punderstanding of Eisenhower and his party, not to mention players and reactions.]
(Sp!) or (Sic) Or (IC)= intentionally coined
In this case "Dymanic."
As well as ** Pardon the "tub" but I have not recovered what slipped my mind in the case of other's theories. But I do (just now)suggest that the tub might be an inverted metaphor for mountain in regards to the slippery slope and trickle down.
