My home state of Illinois has got to be close to the top. Dems had over a decade of near-complete domination of the state's government, and what progressive aims have they achieved? The only things they have managed to do have been royally screwing our pension system during Blagojevich's term and (by the skin of their teeth and while at the same time creating a huge rift within the party between socially conservative black Dems and the rest of the party) legalizing gay marriage in 2014. They also seem good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory (see picking Alexi Gianoullias, a corrupt banker, to run in 2010, a year when bank bailouts and Corrupt politics were already fresh in Illinois voters' minds). And they're not even good at gerrymandering.
But Florida has them beat. No question about that! The best candidate they could come up with to take on the unpopular Rick Scott was retread Charlie Crist? Really? Not to mention all the other statewide races they've lost even though they're supposedly at the forefront of demographic change.
