Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume tweeted, “An Obama re-election won't change the fact that his and his party's governing model is broken.”

In his tweet, Hume linked to an October 25 American Interest blog post by Walter Russell Mead arguing that “American liberalism today is in an advanced stage of intellectual decline.” Mead further argued that "[m]odern American liberalism can only win Pyrrhic victories, because liberals in power take steps that advance their decline," and that the “overwhelming policy failures of modern American liberalism are undermining the basic viability of three of our greatest states” -- California, New York, and Illinois.
