Will Democrats even now, even in this opportunity born of criminal tragedy, continue with their loser strategy? Will those Democrats least representative of the heart of the Democratic Party and the conscious spirit of America -- the Bidens, the Clintons, the Liebermans -- continue to represent us?
What would Republican strategists do in a situation like this? Would they say "Oh,, the President's nominee is the best we could hope for in these times"??? Would they continue to think of themselves as the minority party?
