Every time a Democratic presidential candidate talks about the environment, he gains one vote (maybe) and loses two (for sure). To Joe Sixpack, environmentalism isn't about clean air and water, it's about baby seals and snail darters and he doesn't give a damn. Every time we cry about the stolen 2000 election (and it WAS stolen), we gain no votes and lose plenty, because it makes us sound like losers and crybabies to most nonpolitical Americans.

We don't win every election when we charge to the center, but we lose every election when we charge to the left. Every single one. No exceptions (I'm talking about presidential elections here).

The far right votes Republican. Racists vote Republican. They don't expect Bush to go on the air and talk smack about Blacks and Hispanics or say that we've got too much freedom of speech. They know which side their bread is buttered on and vote for him anyway. The left (meaning Greens) needs to figure this out, go thou and do likewise. Again, are we actually dumber than Republicans?
