From the article: Marshall and Blue Dog co-chairman Jim Matheson, D-Utah, said the party needs more centrist leadership, suggesting Speaker Nancy Pelosi should step aside. "She was certainly an issue in many races, including mine," said Matheson..."I think there's an argument you gotta shake things up."

(As somebody headlined on FR on Election Night, wave bye-bye to the wicked witch of the West! Everybody now: "Ding-dong...)

From the article: Saunders...said the party got off track by focusing...on...health care...which...was too big and confusing, and played into Republican criticism of government run amok. "The idea that government can force you to buy health insurance just goes against the independent spirit...It's a cultural thing. Democrats just don't get the culture down here."

That culture streak extends well beyond the South!!! I don't need Nanny Sam and Nursey Pam!!!

Too “confusing”? I think that he is saying that we are just too stupid to realize the federal government was just going to take over 1/6 of the national economy FOR OUR OWN GOOD and that if you just give the federal government enough power and money, we would have the Utopian existence that socialist all over the world dream about.
