I agree with Mr. Levy that the current Democratic "leadership" is weak and will not be able to win any further nationwide elections. The one thing you can say about the Republicans is, right or wrong, they have a clear message, which they pound out with increasing ferocity. Today, thousands of anti-choice activists will be here in D.C. marching to end women's right to choose. I'm sure a few pro-choice people will be out there, but I question how they will "win" this battle in the face of the right-wing onslaught and an ever increasing right-wing Supreme Court.
I also agree with Mr. Levy that Democrats are often unable to chew gum and walk at the same time and seem to focus on minor ways in which they are different from Republicans. Where are the great Democratic policies? How will they be different from the status quo? Why should we vote for Democrats if they have no fresh ideas?
Too bad we don't have any BHLs running for the Democratic presidential nomination!!
