It's not a question of finger pointing,it's a question of ideas or the lack thereof. The Left brings nothing to the table other than the contrarian view. They have lost political power and influence in this country because of it.
People will never follow leadership that attempts to lead by simply "not being the other guy".

I think Gray Davis would agree...

Well, numerically speaking, the odds are against them having new and fresh ideas because of the tendency to concentrate and centralize authority... Doesn't bring forth or promote the "outside the box (or beltway) thinking" that is where fresh ideas tend to come from... I think of the movie "The American President" where someon is so busy trying to keep their job, they forget to do their job....

And it is not that they do not have ideas... There is a greater problem in where some of the ideas come from.... I am speaking of left field...

It is like chess... Who holds the center... Swing voters are going to have to be very unhappy to have to go back to the left for new ideas...
