It's often said that American policy is basically just Europe's, but 10 years behind. This implied that progressive ideas made their way here, they just faced a little more resistance.
It starts to seem like America is again behind the times -- but this time it's because we are slow to embrace conservative policies. Just as Britain hits the brink of an immigration crisis and Canada relaxes its energy policies, Obama has us going straight to these same tired policies.
We can only hope that this is our future. And with an economics professor handily defeating a tired old Republican, maybe we will get there.
