Not unless the Dems get a coherent policy agenda which they can campaign nationally on... which I sadly doubt, so far on social security, health care, foreign policy etc... the Dems are offering nothing new, let alone inventive.
We need a Democratic agenda to reform social security, not simply defending the status quo, social security needs modernising but what being offered by the GOP simply isn’t acceptable. On top of this practical, effective polices need to be thrashed out on “bread and butter” issues which are more than simply the same warmed up, expensive socially democratic polices of the past and a clear, strong but sensible approach on foreign policy and most importantly Iraq is also needed.
The American people, want and deserve a choice between competing visions of the future, not a Democratic party offering a policy settlement which takes no account of the modern world and a Republican Party with an equally unrealistic but at least forward looking agenda. – Doubt they’ll get it though
, the partisan extremists and special interests on both sides wouldn’t let them.
