I am shocked at this. If the Democrats aren’t running candidates for office, they are throwing in the towel before a campaign gets underway.
I wonder though, if the image of Democrats is behind this. Do many people think that the Democrats are the party of gays, feminists, racial minorities, environmental extremists, etc?????
If so, 2012 could really be a blood bath for the Democrats, from Obama at the top of the ticket down to local races for state legislatures and mayors of small towns. If one of our two major parties becomes so identified as the party of extremists, kooks, crackpots, bizarre lifestyles, etc., that party will not be able to elect many people to office.
No, we got our wake up call with Katrina.
Yes.
