Do Democrats Know How To Win?

Given the political news that everyone has been reading for months, one would expect to see a Democrat Party calmly going about its business focused and collected, all but ensuring the big win so many have been projecting for so long. Unfortunately for them, that isn't the Democrat Party we're seeing.

One of the ways you win is to look and behave like a winner. As with fear, people can sense losing and losers from a long way away. Now, apparently threatened by nothing more than a television docu-drama, we are seeing a political party threatening and fuming, looking every bit like a marginal group of out of control lunatics - the very thing they don't want Republicans to paint them as being.

Are they yet once again playing right into the hands of the allegedly evil genius Karl Rove?

If one wasn't grounded enough to know such nonsense is mostly hype, you might think that they are. How is it America can trust a political party to stand up to Islamo-fascism, or any other serious threat, when they can't even hold it together and remain calm under pressure from a television script?

No matter what, the polls always were bound to close. It always happens in election years. And with Republicans in control of the legislative agenda, if not fully the legislature itself, the opportunities to keep Democrats off-balance moving into the Fall certainly exist.

It almost looks as though the Democrat Party has decided to observe the 9/11 anniversary by launching an unnecessary attack on itself. And while they would be quick to deny it, there is no getting around the fact that, if Democrats don't carry the November elections in some significant way, it will amount to a catastrophe shaking the very foundation of the party itself.

How ironic that after almost a full year with such a seemingly commanding lead, we may look back at the Democrat Party in November, remembering their over-reaction to a docu-drama as we stare into a large empty hole where once stood the Democrat Party itself.
