NYT........Yet even if he clings to his lead, and Florida's 25 electoral
votes give him the presidency, this will no doubt be seen as an
election that in the larger sense settled very little. Reverse the
role of the parties, and the comment made about the election of
1876 by Horatio Seymour, who had lost the presidency to
Ulysses S. Grant eight years before, applies this year as well:
"The Republicans have lost the confidence of the country, and
the Democrats have not gained it."

That being the case, how significantly that will handicap the new
man in the Oval Office remains to be seen.
