If they elect Pelosi and Boxer to the leadership that should be a hint as to how lost they are.

That's true, but they will face an even bigger problem if they elect Frost(ed). Bill Clinton didn't fool anybody with any sense calling himself a moderate or centrist. However, the media repeated the new democrat mantra so much that too many people took it as fact. The left was still able to look at Bill Clinton and get a wink from him, knowing that he would still look out for them. Frost(ed) on the other hand now thinks that any effort to oppose Bush on the war is a lost cause, and RATS need to focus strictly on domestic issues. This will send much of the hard left to the green party and cause as much or more infighting within the RAT party.

I disagree. They don't call him "Slick Willie" for nothing. He fooled a lot of people whose only glimpse of politics is based on 5-second sound bites on the evening news. He had Hitlery play a cookie-baking mom. Bill Clinton was the ultimate political chameleon. I don't see anyone else in the Democratic Party (maybe with the exception of John Edwards), who could pull the deception off as cleverly as Clinton. Also, many people have wised up about the Clintons, so it will be even more difficult for Dems in the future to cloak their true liberal nature.
