A long reply by me got eaten up by my computor
Anyhow my basic argument is that's it's the fault of six of one and half a dozen of the other...
Personally I think one little talked about problem the national Democrats have (and I'll write a longer piece on this soon) is the fact that they've sort of managed to lose the Party's soul; it's almost as if Party has sold it to various special interest groups (both hard left and centrist), doesn't care, hasn't noticed or can't be bothered to buy it back.
Just one part of a long rant I've been plotting for a while...
