24. The party didn't make the case for what those people would be like in the fall

We didn't run as an anti-corporate, pro-worker party. If we had, people like Walker and Kasich would never have won.

The answer is mobilization and enthusiasm. Those things are happening now from below, and I'm not sure that our party's nation leaders really WANT them to happen. We can't benefit from that mobilization by running another timid centrist campaign in 2012.

We have to be the party of the have-nots, not the haves, of the streets and not the suites.
