For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: the dissembling Democrats:

  • A sizable proportion of Democrats would vote for John McCain next November if he is matched against the candidate they do not support for the Democratic nomination.
  • One of Minnesota’s most prominent super-delegates, Walter Mondale, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he’s worried that his party is headed for a ‘super-sized’ political disaster if a nominee isn't chosen before the Democratic National Convention.
  • Former Sen. George McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, said Tuesday it would be easier for a black man to be elected to the White House than a woman.

The news out there from the left is all pretty awful. Making matters worse, Democrat Congressional leaders seem content to ride out another year without any significant legislative accomplishments despite all their promises in 2006.

With that in mind, irrespective of how the media have been framing a huge left-wing victory in November, is the Democrat Party in a lot of trouble? Will Republicans be able to capitalize on these left-wing woes, or miss a great opportunity to move the country back to the right?
