id say the democrats do actually have 47% that will vote for them, people who would never vote republican, whereas the republicans only have about 35-40% of poeple who would vote for them nomatter what. The democrats have the centre ground, they are - certainly by british standards - both right of centre parties anyway, but the Republicans are just far too right wing a the minute.

Id say that unless their is a major political shakeup (which, knowing my luck with predictions will probably happen) the democrats have 2016 in the bag, and probably 2020. The republicans need someone with the charisma and political convictions of a roosevelt - teddy or FDR - and they dont have either at the minute. The democrats just need someone who doesnt put their foot in their mouth.
