An outgoing president has escalated a long conflict into full-blown war, ultimately to popular displeasure. He is not seeking re-election. His party rejects its anti-war wing and nominates a "stay the course" candidate.
The opposing party nominates, and elects, a candidate running on nebulous "new leadership will end the war and win the peace" rhetoric.
The new president introduces "bold" economic policies, including wage controls.
1968 or 2008?
LBJ or GWB?
Eugene McCarthy or Ron Paul?
Richard Nixon or Barack Obama?
The more things change ...
Same guy? Think about it ... ever seen'em together?
