18. Well The Problem Start Form The People At The Top
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 10:18 AM by mazzarro
IMO Feingold and Grayson lost because:
(1) The Democratic base was dis-spirited and depressed from the lukewarm performance of the legislative majority.
(2) The drive for bi-partisanship inhibited vigorous rebuttal of the rightwing propaganda from the beginning.
(3) Allowing teabaggers to gain wide acceptance by not challenging their lies and slanders and racism by the DNC was monumental mistake.
(4) Democrats as a whole running away from their (not so liberal) accomplishments made it difficult for the few who gladly embraced them.

My hope is that someone like Grayson be appointed to the chairmanship of the DNC and have him resurrect the 50 state strategy and other Howard Dean's ideas again.
