Hillary can do it easily (argh). But that ignores the larger question is whether she can square the circle of a much broader nationwide electorate (that is, how many Red States can she pick up?)

He's on vacation, busy with selling his house, buying a new one, etc. I don't know who you are- but leave Michael alone. Michael Reynolds?

For whatever reason the Dems cannot manage to find common ground between their wings -- unlike the GOP which has done that brilliantly. I'm not usually one for the fuhrerprinzip but this is a case where a galvanizing, unifying leader is needed to roll the two wings into one. I have no candidates for that role. The best Dems seem to be capable but low-wattage - Biden, Richardson, Edwards. Or else they are musty retreads - Hillary, Gore, Kerry. I don't know enough about Bayh or Warner but neither strikes me as a reincarnated Andy Jackson, FDR, JFK or a Democrat Reagan. There's Barack Obama but he seems about two years too junior to make a good run in 2008. The Dems can’t square the circle of DLC Dems and Campus Dems.

But is anyone listening? Or is the Democratic game plan simply to hope that the next elections will be reruns of 1980 with GWB playing the hapless J. Carter inabsentia? Nice shout out, Callimachus.

There's this fat, juicy political middle sitting there in the road. Looks like it fell off that truck that just went past in flames, with the Texas guy behind the wheel. Are you going to do anything about it? Or just sit there and wait for it to grow legs and walk on over to the porch where you're sitting with Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan and such. Cause you know that didn't happen the last two times, either. So, hey, Democrats. There’s this fat, juicy political middle sitting there in the road.
