"But after they helped score an impressive primary victory this summer in the Connecticut Senate Democratic primary between incumbent Sen. Joe Lieberman and unknown businessman Ned Lamont, they clearly have earned a seat at the table..."

We all know that Lamont won because the votes actually got counted in Conn. (They used the old-style, harder to hack lever machines this election).
Can you imagine how many races we've been winning that were stolen? Can you imagine how different the political climate in this country would be if Max Cleland really did retain his seat (after being 8 points up in the polls the day of the election), or if all of Kerry's voters actually got to cast their vote and then -- astoningly -- had it counted? Correctly?

The Dem leadership in this country has been responding to what I think has really been a false sense of reality -- and that is that there are millions of "values voters" or "security moms" or "Nascar dads" mysteriously crawling out on election day and skewing the elections to the Republicans.

I'm becoming convinced that not only do these people not really exist, they shouldn't be used by pundits and election strategists to either explain away bizarre, statistically impossible Republican victories, and to "adjust" Democratic strategies to counter them.

And that's only one reason why Brazille and her ilk are the dinosaurs of the party -- they can't see the reality right in front of them.
