After Bush's election in 2000, many Republicans said much the same about demographic advantages, as did Democrats in 2008. 

Fortunately, for all the hand-wringing and haggling, it's not really as hard as it looks.

Grab your shovel. Four years ago this week, on the day after the 2008 election, we asked you to answer the question "By 2012, what will Obama actually change?" We put your predictions into our online "time capsule," and now, we'll open it up and look at some of ...
