Carville, et al, claim the reason was that the Democrats "did not speak boldly." Don't they receive any newspapers? Can't they read? Clinton (him) spoke "boldly" in district after district, for candidate after candidate. And they ALL lost, except for Gray Davis, who was deep in the toilet, but his opponent's campaign was even deeper in the toilet.
Mary Landrieu, who is losing an historic race in Louisiana even as we speak, had the good sense not to permit the "leading" Democrat, Clinton (him) to come anywhere near her state as she tries to survive her association with "bold" Democrats at the national level.
In short, when you are dead wrong and the people do not agree with you, turning up the volume on your megaphones will NOT obtain better results. "It's the message, stupid." Until the Democrats change direction as a political party, the MORE they get their message out, the MORE races they will lose.
This memo, in effect, urges the Democrats to hurry as they approach the political cliff as clueless lemmings. Our best tactic in the presence of this self-destructive behavior is to pop some popcorn, pour a cold one, watch, and cheer.
