has the end of the cold war given the democrats an electoral advantage?

[Person Man]

Although the Cold War arguably has marked the end of any need to have a mobilized national government. Perhaps the entire New Deal coalition was simply kept together by the infrastructure and manufacturing demands of fighting Hitler for 5 years and the Communist the next 40. Then again, antiterrorism might be the new anticommunism....but with no successful terrorist attacks or mass murders of say 20 people or more in the last 10 years...and the ending of our wars, it appears that issue may have been the last "hurrah" of the anticommunist sentiment as many people hope that there could be a pro-US political victory in countries that still pose a threat to the US.

Liberals may argue that Nationalism is out of date while Conservatives may argue that the need for strong Government and social inclusion and unity may be out of date.
