Bingo and all that. "Democrats ... did not take the election gaming seriously enough to prevent it..."

You said it more concisely than I did. :applause:

And so are the Dems going to be ready to face these issues in 2008 even?!? WWHD? (What would Hillary Do? for example. I think we know what John would do).

Agreed, it was a combination of naivete and wishful thinking of the type that goes "we just have to get enough votes to override the corruption...." OOPS. Unfathomable to be so cavalier after 2000. That's what they don't want the public to notice. That's why the big silence. They let us down in a BIG way.

You can't expect candidates who "lose" to fight your battles...it's just dumb and naive to do that. Elizabeth's statements now (whatever you may think about their political expediency), are a timely reminder...what's been done to address the issues and could it happen again? Clearly she thinks so. And they want to make it clear that this time, they'd fight. Fair enough.
