You Dems would win far more presidential elections if you'd simply stop nominating idiotic candidates.
That's a good point...but in terms of the issues, we are never going to get past 49% if the only thing that is the difference between us in the GOP is W and Iraq and either taxes, medicaid OR abortion and Gays.
We can't just abandon our issues, you know........actually, you might want to abandon your stance on higher taxes, though. You'll be quite surprised how many more moderates, independents, and even Republicans would come on to your side if it wasn't for your ridiculous tax-and-spend and failed fiscal policies advocated by Hillary, Edwards, and Obama. We tried that before, and it doesn't work. You can still be a liberal on social issues and foreign policy
Which is just another good reason to choose centrist, pragmatic governrors (with a dash charisma, of course) rather than ideological (and largely worthless windbags) Democratic senators as your candidates.
If you manage to lose 2008 (which is likely, barring a MAJOR catastrophic meltdown on the Republican side), you might want to check out MD gov Martin O'Malley or Ed Rendell for 2012! Good luck!
