If you can believe an article by Ronald Brownstein in today's Los Angeles Times, the Democratic Party is the party of Rip Van Winkle, which has just now awoke from a coma to find themselves on the outside looking in.

They have systematically eliminated all other possible options and left themselves no future course other than party suicide.

Yeah, that was a squeaker of an election.
Actually didn't Kerry come within a few tens of thousands of votes in Ohio, and the election?
Bush won Ohio by 110,000 votes.
Even after the dems forced a recount.
