Re FDR: On a trip to NYC some years ago, I happened, without planning it, to walk past the city's first public housing project, in Long Island City, Queens. It was constructed in 1929 - while FDR was governor of New York!
The point being that the Democrats can now concentrate on experimenting with innovative new programs in the states where they have "trifectas" - the governorship and both houses of the state legislature; this means Delaware, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Oregon, Rhode Island, and (maybe) North Carolina (!). This could be especially true in the realm of health care, post-ObamaCare.
And imagine if the new FDR turns out to be the spectacularly electable Roy Cooper?
