16. no, i dont think so.
bush has the power and weight of the executive branch fully tuned to his re-election needs, and a war chest xerxes would have loved to have had when he invaded greece.

the dems are fragmented, have no cohesion, no plan, no inspired leadership, and worst of all, no money.

they do not have a candidate running who has been able to produce a narrative both for himself or his policies that can be grafted onto the great american myths the american people live by and which drive their voting habits.

its not all the media's fault. its also the fault of fairly weak, inarticulate, and uninspiring candidates and those who direct their campaigns.

its also our fault by not being more active in the process.

get active, locally.
