Already there are those in the party convinced that, in the interest of expediency, Democrats need to put forth more "centrist" candidate -- i.e., Republican-lite candidates -- who can make inroads in the all-red middle of the country.
I'm sorry to pour salt on raw wounds, but isn't that what Tom Daschle did? He even ran ads showing himself hugging the president! But South Dakotans refused to embrace this lily-livered tactic. Because, ultimately, copycat candidates fail in the way "me-too" brands do.
Amen, Arianna. As sad as I am about the election outcome, Daschle got what he deserved. As a leader in the Democratic Party, he presided over the massive spanking the Republicans delivered yesterday. Now if we jettison McAuliffe, Howard Dean can take over DNC leadership and help those clowns find their ideals again.
