33. What base?

I don't think we lost the Democratic Party base in the last election. That wasn't the problem. Not to mention that I don't think DU is representative of the base. I think the base is more like folks like Ed Schultz. We're a bit to the left of the base, I think. Kerry was a decent fit. Clark would have been good. Hillary is sliding to the right of the base I believe. Edwards was almost too far left, though not that bad. I don't know what Dean was considered by the base, but perhaps a bit too in your face, is all, for some folks anyway.
