It bears reminding that the democrats have endured a great deal lately.
Notice - not one mention of their greatest president ever - *Billy Jeff Rodham Clinton...

Democrats regroup by throwing a ritzy Hollywood, red carpet party, followed by seminars by media moguls the next day. The 2-3 days are filled with strategy sessions, meet and greets, and cocktail parties.

The Democrats can win in 08 if they follow the following:
1) Dump Hillary
2) Dump Gun Control
3) Come up with a Health Care program that isn't just a big power/cash grab
4) Run someone who is from south of the Mason/Dixon
I Predict they will fail on 3 out of the 4 points........

Sounds like a job for the Irreverent Jessie Jackson.

I thought it was the Whigs who lost to Bush. Maybe I'm getting those two parties confused.

...formerly reputable party ???
When? When they were standing in the doorways of schoolhouses so black children couldn't get in? When they were arm-in-arm with the Communists? When they were allied with the Viet Cong?
I must have missed the "reputable" part, can we see some of that in my lifetime please?

Nah, I don't think of all Democrats as immoral and decadent... I think of them as demagogues who use immorality and decadence to entrap voters into lifestyles that make independence and morality difficult to achieve.

Nah, I don't think of all Democrats as immoral and decadent... Good distinction.
Most Democrats -- the so-called "rank and file" -- believe in something.
But the party's leadership believes in nothing, stands for nothing, cares for nothing...besides their own power.

Why they lose: ... "Its no real surprise that their current run of bad luck ... "
Blame it on Bush ... or "bad luck". Democrats lose because they are the party of "victims".

Why do so many people still insist that Dean's scream cost him his bid for president? Do they think that people are really that shallow? Dean lost the primaries because he was a nutcase and he kept putting his foot in his mouth. And incidentally, he finished third in the Iowa caucuses before he delivered his supposed "Campaign-Killing Scream".
To: Libloather
It seems now the typical apolitical American places the Democratic Party in nearly equal status with disparaging terms such as left-wing liberal, extremist or otherwise. This perception polarizes them as possessing principles and plans for the nation that are far removed from that of the typical voter. Happens to be true, Mr. Baer.
To: Libloather
Howard Dean, the one-time 2004 front-runner whose overzealous yell in Iowa bafflingly served to sink his campaign. Message to the media: there wasn't anything "baffling" about it. The MSM finally realized Dean was too kooky to beat GW Bush, so they used "The Scream" as an excuse to turn on Dean and bury him. Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, even said this was the case. Oh, the MSM loved Dean's politics, they just hated GW Bush more.
They thought by trumpeting the "moderate war hero" Kerry they could sell this bag of goods to the American people. The problem was, Kerry was neither a war hero, nor was he moderate.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day. It was on the back of a nice SUV and read: A Christian and a Democrat. I just couldn't help but think it pretty awful that you had to advertise the fact that, just because you were a Democrat, it didn't exclude your being a Christian. And that poor dummy driving that truck probably thought it was a positive thing!

they are constantly under pressure from division in their own ranks over issues as varied as stem cell research and finding an agreeable exit strategy for the Iraq war.I notice he left out abortion, I guess all the Pro-life folks have left the RATs, so everyone left is pro-abortion.
He didn't mention gun-control either, I wonder what page they all seem to be on...........oh, that's right, gun control cost them the 2000 election, so they must be all on the same page as most Americans now, AGAINST gun control.
Tax cuts, no mention of tax cuts, wonder where they are on tax cuts..................
National Security..............hmm, yes that's right, they are together on that, can't have a War on Terror, might end up with prisoners with panties on their heads.........
Otherwise, they are on the path to winning! Like they did recently, ya know, getting 47% of the vote type winning.

It was on the back of a nice SUV and read: A Christian and a Democrat. A real stunner. And I've no doubt they were fervently both.
But it should make one wonder why one felt one had to advertise it...
