Well, they ought to have turned out and voted. Best I can see is less than 60
million of them showed up. (of course you are including babies and school
children in your total, which is ludicrous at best)
" In the 37 elections since 1860 - the first won by a Republican - Democrats
have won only 14. Only twice in 15 post-World War II elections has the
Democratic nominee achieved 50 percent of the vote."

Not a good 150 years for the demos. I think most of them would prefer it if
the liberal end of the party went its own way, and let the rest of them, the
majority of them, go back to there basic roots and beliefs. Liberals have
wiped out any hope for the democratic ticket.
There are three or four democrats who could have beaten Bush. Maybe instead of
wringing their hands in despair, democrats ought to consider doing something
about the Primary process, which basically allowed Iowa and NH to choose their
candidate. Perhaps that choice ought to be made at the convention, rather than
on the farm in the midwest?
Both sides whine about the electoral college, voter registration process
failures, and disenfranchised voters, but most all democrats were totally
disenfranchised when two or three small states basically told all the others
that Kerry was the one who would run. How stupid is that?
