These candidates frequently note the turn to the right taken by voters in England and Canada this year and predict the oft-predicted end of the New Deal era of Big Government and big spending on lavish social programs. Says Baker: "There is a sea change coming in American politics. The country has been building toward it for years, but was frustrated by Watergate."
