I don't know. I really wonder how large Buchanan's constituency - 
elite or popular - really is. His poll numbers are pretty low (and 
his negatives are pretty high). Snarling xenophobia really doesn't 
seem to play that well; Reagan and Clinton both succeeded politically 
with an echt American message of optimism and expansiveness. Maybe a 
serious recession would improve Buchanan's fortunes, but that would 
be another story.
