That’s the title of John hood’s column today, in which he notes the change in American politics over the past generation:
A generation ago, ridicule would have greeted the prediction that Republicans would become the majority party in state capitals and the U.S. House while Democrats would enjoy greater success in presidential and Senate elections. The pattern had been exactly the opposite. In the two decades from 1968 to 1988, the GOP won all but one presidential race (1976) and held the U.S. Senate for several terms in the 1980s. But the party never came anywhere close to taking the U.S. House, and Democrats ran most of the country’s states and localities.
