Matthew Yglesias nails the latest bout of conventional campaign criticism that we should all be worked up because Barack Obama isn’t “breaking it open.” Yglesias correctly points out that the winning candidate this year was probably never going to get more than about 53 percent in the general election and that our country’s political make up is still deeply divided, yet largely predictable. We aren’t going to see a 1964 or even a 1980 level of landslide again for quite a long time.
