if you think the democrats can win without playing the political game, then I'd say you're dead wrong. People who play the game well make it appear as though they aren't playing at all. People who spell out their political plans in clumsy language and tread on sensitive issues dont get very far.

Remember what you might have thought about the 'honesty' of that memo. Yes, it was honest, but it was also despicable. This comment wasn't as despicable because he doesn't intend to use terri schiavo as much as he intends to use the republicans' actions against them... but just try explaining that to a republican who has heard this little sound bite.

Its how people lose, and its the exact kind of thing i have always worried about with dean. Where you find it refreshingly honest, I find it clumsily worded and poorly decided. You can be honest without putting your foot in your mouth.
