Open Left

And the CYA element won't work (4.00 / 8)

 The voting public put DEMOCRATS in power because it wanted certain things done -- like health care.

 Whether or not the DEMOCRATS retain power after this cycle will correlate precisely with how much of that stuff they get done.

 If the Dem leadership is too dumb to see that, then one must question the justification for existence of the party.

Well said (4.00 / 3)

My gut tells me they are making what they think are well-calculated political moves, but the fact is they won this cycle and last decisively because Americans overwhelmingly want a NEW DIRECTION.

If there was ever a time for bold, generational change, it is now.
