That is what they think now because they are crazed by being in the Minority. Then, when they do not achieve the Majority status in the next two cycles they will wring their hands and try to search what ever is left of their souls, and maybe they will start looking in the mirror and see what we see, aged,broken down,seriously flawed,liars who did not have the courage to do the right thing like Zell Miller.
No offense, but it seems impossible for Democrats to win in the next two cycles. It appears to me they are putting themselves out of power for fifty years based on the way they are going today. And, I don't see that changing as their special interest groups sway votes and demand adherence to leftist philosophy over what's best for America. This Alito filibuster threat is just more proof elected Democrats are under the thumb of their whacko left. Reasonable Democrats are being run off or neutralized, as they are doing to Lieberman.
I would buy into your theory IF I saw a change in the mindset of the newer, younger members of the DEMS in Congress...
BUT, Osama Obama, Debbie Wasserman-Schulz, Kendrick Meek...these people are MORE deluded than even Kennedy and Kerry!!!
BUT, you look at Coburn and Pence...they are new..and are bucking the "old guard" in the Republican Party...not making friends along the way...to be sure....but they are getting attention...and I FOR ONE...am paying close attention.
