Can the Dem win a presidential election when they don't seem to have the moxie to win?

Democrats are all talk. They tend to have a very "not in my backyard" attitude about almost everything they publicly support. I agree that they are like "a boat without a rudder." I wish that wasn't the case. Our system works with two strong parties, and right now we don't have two strong parties. They need to get their act together and present someone with convictions that are truly for the good of the nation and that aren't based on popularity polls. Sadly, as of now, I just don't see it.

I agree completely. Diebold still controls the vote, and they have for at least 6 years, maybe longer. The big dogs wanted the Dem's to win this time. Why?, ...... I don't know.  I'm beginning to think the 2 party system is a big scam to keep us all divided. But I guess it works. These people in here are at each others throats, all the time. So, I guess they win. You don't here about voter fraud lately.

You dont know how sure i was that the Democrat was going to get in last term...  I mean everywhere I looked, people hated Bush...  You coulve run anyone, and they shouldve beat thim..\n\nSo in short, I dont know, but I doubt it.  Especially with the candidates they are hinting at now..  No sexism or racism intended, but the only Democrat who has a chance in hell of winning is a straight white male.  Yes there are qualified candidates outside of that group, but the US is not ready for them...  Democrats run anyone else and you will see a huge landslide victory for the Republicans.

I don't see why not. He might win it or not but a change would be nice. Obama could use that campaign if he loses to make himself a more respectful and maybe one of the best politicians we've had in  years. He's a solid guy, I like the way he approaches the people. We need more people like him these days! I really wish him the best of luck and would vote for him in the primaries if he still wants to run. But if he doesn't make it, he'll show up in 2012 or 2016 with a solid and clear personality. May the best Dem win!!

Democrats will more than likely win control of the house. Republicans would have to win all of the toss up races to prevent it. \n\nSenate is way too close to call. The only state no poll is showing an advantage for is Virginia. Both democrats and republicans need this state to retain control.

For a Democrat to win the presidency, they must win a least one ( and possibly) two states that were red in 2004. I think she has way too many negatives and is too liberal to win just about any red state.\n\nVery rarely do you have a candidate who has that many people who feel strongly negative about them before they even run for national office.

It's possible that she could win, but not on my vote.

Sure, but first you have to convince the entire electorate not to support them. Incumbents typically have an 80%- 90% re-election rate.\n\nGood luck.

I would have to agree with you.  And if the democrats lose, we'll hear the same old "we just didn't have the opportunity to get our message out" whining rant.

Democrats will win if people actually get off their butts and vote. Many Democrats are young people who say they can't find the time, their vote doesn't matter, they just don't feel like it....Get off your butts and vote! If you won't participate in politics, don't complain about them!

I think the Dems are losing now and will continue to lose until they can come up with a way to define their party.  And until they can produce a good, strong, likable, trustworthy candidate.

I've been Liberal all my life and really want to see the Democrats take back both the House and Senate as well as the Presidency. However, unless the Democrats get their acts together and move closer to the middle they are destined to be a minority party and looking at another Republican in the White House in 08.  In answer to your question, NO, I do not believe Hilary can win, not because of her sex, but because she, in my opinion, is one of the problems with the Democratic Party. As of now, I think Mark Warner, former Governor of Virginia would be a good bet and a great candidate to take the White House back.

It would depend on her running mate, who she's running against, etc.  Best I can say is maybe.  What I can say with certainty is that anyone with close ties to the current administration wouldn't get my vote.

The Republicans can parade out literally any candidate they want.  The Democrats have no chance of winning and they know it.\n\nThe constituents they have left are either in prison, financially kidnapped by a union, high on drugs, or so oppressed and dependent on hand outs they can't get out of the way of a hurricane much less make it to the polls to vote.\n\nWhat kind of message do democrats have anyway?  "We can do better".  Right!!!!!hahahaha   Isn't that a joke!!!!  \n\nThe people of New Orleans have seen all to well what a hundred years of state and local democratic control have provided them.  Absolutely Jack Sh*t.\n\nHell babe, I'm thinking about running. Wanne be my VP?  I'll find you a nice young intern.

Thats a good question...I think the Democrats have a really good chance of winning a lot of seats as long as they stick with it they should be able to win them. Republican candidates are trying to distance themselves from Bush as much as possible but I don't think it's going to work
