The Republicans are in trouble when the legendary Karl Rove has produced a map showing a loss for the Republican Party. The only major question now is by what margin Obama achieves a historic landslide. Another footnote is whether or not the Democrats get a majority in the Senate. Election night looks like it belongs to Obama and the Democratic Party. This is a remarkable achievement of disciplined focus and unflappable dexterity that should stand Obama in good stead for the Presidency. His most remarkable achievement in this long race is without doubt not his victory over McCain but rather the unseating of Hilary Clinton the matriarch of the Democrats as well as the most likely candidate for the Democratic Party.
His victory has ridden the tide of discontent, disbelief and incongruity as to what has been happening in the financial world. It should be not doubted that the electorate would hold accountable the party in charge for such circumstances. But is worthwhile to note that the gyrations of the markets are well beyond the control of any one set of politicians and that any reform or reformulation of how the markets work should be carefully considered. One hopes that with victory assured that Obama dispenses with ideological premises for economic change and seeks pragmatic solutions to pragmatic problems.
