(and I think LBJ's political failure is a great example of how legislative successes, even massive ones like medicare/medicaid, are just no substitute for being able to address immediate challenges that loom first for voters (Vietnam/unrest, etc.) — PolitiTweet.org

One basic matter of clarification: I see political and policy success as distinct questions, just as policy and political analysis are different genres. No one encapsulates that better than LBJ: unmatched accomplishments, yet didn't run for reelection and Dems lose 5 of next 6 — PolitiTweet.org

So what's a politically successful president? I'll admit it's fuzzy. A few heuristics: did your party win a third term; did your agenda inspire backlash; did your opposition need to to shift to return to power; did you redefine the meaning of your party/ideology favorably? — PolitiTweet.org
