Add Harry Enten to the list of those – including me and Sean Trende of Real Clear Politics – who think that Mitt Romney’s 51%-47% defeat and the Democrats’ 49%-48% plurality in the 2012 House popular vote signals that Republicans face challenges but not doom.
Enten is a not necessarily left-leaning psephologist (he assures me) writing on the clearly left-leaning (and well written and edited) Guardian UK website. He makes similar points to Trende, who argues that Republicans will never do worse among black voters than in 2008 and 2012 and could well do better among whites.
