As a result of the Iraq war, the current coalition structure in America, which is dominated by the conservative governing majority for at least two decades and continues to be so now, has a reached a breaking point. Realignments in American politics take place when there is no compromise to be had on the major issues of the day, and when the current governing majority is actually in the minority position on those issues nationwide. Iraq is just such a dominant issue on which there is no compromise, and the current conservative governing coalition of George Bush, Bush Dogs, congressional Republicans, and anti-MoveOn, anti-Reid Feingold Senators is opposed to the will of 60% of the American people on Iraq.

We have come to a point where either we will witness the success of the last-ditch effort of the conservative working majority to stay in power, the Iraq Blurring Strategy, or we will witness the completion of the Iraq realignment in the 2008 elections. I explain in the extended entry.
