I'm Australian. I don't know a lot about American politics, but I have subscribed to Time magazine for many years and endeavour to keep abreast of current affairs as best I can. During the 2008 American election, riding a wave of populist loathing of George W. Bush at the time, certain political pundits were claiming that the Democrats could win the election, even if they ran a boiled potato. That sounded like mighty dangerous rhetoric to me. Smug and complacent too. It's always ill-advised to underestimate one's foe.
