Insight and seriousness alone are taken as being pantywaist or did we all sleep walk through the last several election cycles. Perhaps we should broaden what we sell or repeat the same damn mistakes......again. We need toughness. I'm old enough to remember a time when Dems were feared. They were the people's party but could fight just as dirty as Pukes. Dirtier in a lot of cases.

You can have all the noble, forward looking ideas in the world, but if you don't win, you can't do shit.
