[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you think the Dems are better organized as a party now? They don't have many rising stars, and they are so centrist on so many fiscal issues, it's hard to define them.[/quote]

Forget about a headcount of rising stars.  This is a strategic issue, and one or two personalities will not pull it out in the absence of

Yes, the Democratic party is better off strategically.   It did the necessary soul searching that led to Bill Clinton.  A Democrat does not have as many litmus tests.  A Democrat can put restrictions on welfare, they can cut taxes, they can spy domestically and it no longer costs them elections.  They can have differing views on gay marriage and gay rights to a degree.  They can oppose cap and trade.  They can be for or against testing to rate teachers.  They can be pro-gun rights.  They can oppose medical marijuana.  A presidential candidate can probably not be anti-abortion but they could be for restrictions on late-term abortion if they are compelling in other dimensions.  They can have a range of opinions on border immigration issues.  They may support or oppose free trade.  They can favor Israel or not.  Don't get me wrong, they can't take the minority position on everything and still get there.  But it matters that Democrats have latitude.[/quote]
