2014 Post-Mortem: How did the Democrats screw this up so badly?

[Slander and/or Libel]

I don't think there's any evidence whatsoever to think that the Obama coalition is somehow different from the Democratic coalition. At least not in the way you guys are saying.

Let's not also forget that Hillary herself was more popular during the 2008 primary among many constituencies: women, Hispanics, working class whites. That means that these people maybe will be more motivated with a Clinton candidacy than they were with Obama.
Time will tell.

Barack Ebola.

Lol, have fun with the red avatars, krazen.  It's been a long time since the blues here have had their way with them.

Tell me you haven't gotten so old that you've already forgotten 2010?

Well it's more fun since both sides of the aisle are firmly blue, my friend.

The Democratic coalition I grew up in the 80s and 90s with included coal families and white senior citizens, but lower African-American participation and a lower share of the Hispanic population.
