I'm back, with the following historical observation:

To embellish upon what Digby and others have been pointing out, saying that Democrats can't succeed in a presidential election without winning back "Reagan Democrats" is about as meaningful as saying that Republicans can't succeed in a presidential election without winning back the urban blacks who voted for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956.

That is all. Watch this space for plenty of fun stuff in the weeks ahead.
