Dem'crats being Dem'crats - working with Howard Dean's dream of being competitive in all fifty states - they will drizzle away all possibility of winning a majority in either the House or Senate in 2006. Howie, you see, has a much bigger vision, and it may take as long to build as the span between Woodrow Wilson, in 1912, and FDR, in 1932.
Yeah, 2012 sounds about right. All they need, by then, is a major depression and a Herbert Hoover clone they can demonize as the source of all their woes.
They have an LBJ clone today and still aren't happy. I guess they're still mad that their emaciated Frankenstein character isn't in office.
