the fact that the had such devastating loses during Clinton's 8 years is almost impossible for them to come to terms with. your average common non-political dem is probably clueless about this. The elite Dems don't want to talk about this or come to terms with it because it really is a statement about William Jefferson.

I think that is correct. It also is a statement about the democrat party. They have been losing elections all the way down to the state houses for many years now. The real problem is that the party is no longer a grass roots party but is as you mention, a party run by elites who are out of step with the average citizen.
