Poll question: What should be done if Dems screw up and lose 06 too?
Advertisements [?]
I am sincerely hoping they win, and they have made some steps toward actually standing for something including pulling out of Iraq.

Nonetheless, it's not hard to imagine them throwing away a potential easy victory through timidity, or boldness followed by an apology, or a GOP opponent correctly pointing out all the times that a Democrat now critical of Bush voted with the fascists over the last couple of years.

Kerry essentially made the election close enough for Bush to steal by not being blunter about the war and critical of Bush to his face when he had a chance during the debates and couldn't be edited to pieces by Fox News. By fall of 2004, it was not only obvious Bush lied about the reasons he invaded Iraq, but the real reasons could have easily been pointed out since he gave the oil concessions in Iraq to his cronies who were screwing us at the pump, and of course, the Abu Ghraib scandal had broken out the previous spring, and documents showed Bush and top cabinet officials approved of those uncontestable war crimes. Kerry's quick concession in the face of vote rigging and vote fraud may have been pragmatically correct, but nonetheless dispirited those who put a lot of energy into campaigning for him.

If Democrats hold back again, what should be done?
