How the Democrats can lose this election

It'll be a challenge, but they might just be up to it. Eating their own is probably a good start.

One of the things that I find most obnoxious about the Bush administration and the state of the Republican right is the insistence on orthodoxy. Like the Party in 1984, their command is not "Thou shalt," it is "Thou art." Our friends in the netroots despise this unwillingness to acknowledge the good faith of the other side, as do I.

Apparently, their solution is to emulate it. I don't think that is a winning position.
