If the only thing you knew about the democratic party was the United States Senate, what would you say the democratic party stand for?

If we can't figure it out by looking at our elected leaders, how can the electorate?

2. Pandering to the middle for votes.
Which is silly, because that strategy has been proven to be a loser.

3. Like it or not, the MSM has been telling them that for a long time!
It doesn't matter if you think the MSM is supporting Shrub or not. Listen to them ALL! Thats exactly what all of them have been telling the Dems for a very long time! You can't win by just pointing out how bad the other guy is. You HAVR to have an alternative!!!! You have to state your position on things and say "they're wrong, this is why, and here's how I'd fix it!!!

NO ONE in the Dem elected has done that!
