[T]he Democratic Party's political problems are really about the Democratic Party and not their opponents. . . .This seems right to me. But no matter how simple, it's a lesson lost on Democrats other than Senator Lieberman. After all, a weasel simply won't grow up to be a lion.
Which is all by way of returning to my long-time hobbyhorse -- to wit: The Democratic Party's political trouble is explained almost entirely by the fact that the country does not trust it with national security. It may be possible to weasel into office through some other contrivance, but Democratic positioning on both culture and economics is already reasonably successful. Bush is not wildly popular. The obvious growth area is trying to convince people that Democrats can do national security properly.
