The Democrats have an opportunity now which came as more of a gift than an accomplishment. Unless they actually DO something or appear to be willing to do something they will garner the same disgust that has been heaped on the Republicans. Energy independence, health care reform, immigration, income disparity and campaign finance all loom as issues badly in need of work. This is where the Dems can cement their future. It's time for a new "New Deal". The baby boomers are concerned for their old age and Social Security isn't going to get it done. A dramatic restructuring of priorities from materialistic to humanistic would be an appropriate comeback strategy for the party of Roosevelt. A new approach to foreign policy is necessary. Negotiations with Iran and Syria would be a good start. Iraq is Bush's albatross, unless he is willing to change course let it stay that way........
