Did you see what was missing? If not, read it again and ask yourself what the Democrats intend to do if they get back into office.

For some time now, they have offered no vision whatsoever, beyond hazy catch-phrases couched in emotional rally speeches. The only thing that Dems have stood behind for the past 6 years is opposition, nay-saying, and obstructionism. The more they do along those lines, the more seats they lose. Yet, thankfully, they are utterly incapable of recognizing this pattern.

In reality, the Dems are victims of their own successes. There's little left of the Socialist agenda to push for that the mushy-middle will accept.

The next "great" Democrat will be the one who offers their version of the Contract with America: a simply-stated list of their specific legislative goals.

Or to paraphrase DW, if you're look out your windshield at the front straight at Daytona and it's getting longer, it's time to lift.

I believe like Rush said a week or two ago, the only hope democrats have is to lay out what they believe (all of it) and why.

He also said they don't because they know that would guarantee defeat for the next 20 years....but at least they would be standing for SOMETHING.
