How can the Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
a) Nominate the most internally popular and connected Presidential candidate instead of an electable one and continue to refuse to think about long-term succession planning
b) Fail to start off and maintain things squeaky clean and instead let power corrupt, by caving in to special interests
c) Fail to come up with solid and united responses to the issues that face the US and the world
d) Let themselves become the fall guys for Iraq, the jobless recovery, health care, and the environment, by letting the Republicans control the message and public discourse.
e) All of the above.
