*roll eyes*
a 2.5% loss is hardly an ass kicking, and it's kind of difficult for such a narrow victory to show that a country is rejecting an entire party.
Ummmm... that was my point. I said they didn't get their asses kicked badly enough.
I think BRTD's point was that losing by 2.5 is not a direct refusal of Democratic ideas.
Thus, my reasoning that they will go farther Left.
who the hell do you think we're going to nominate, Kucinich? There aren't very many viable candidates further left than Kerry. The fact that Kerry only lost by about 2.5 is proof that it wouldn't take that much more of a moderate candidate to win.
I still don't see this "rejection of the party" nonsense. Was 1996 a rejection of the Republican party? It's pretty tough to argue 2004 was American say " YOU DEMOCRATS" while 1996 wasn't the same for the Republicans.
