As long as the DNC is under the false illusion that elections can be won by taking the highground, they will continue to lose them.
Its not so much them 'taking the higher ground' that kills them as much as it is America seeing through their attempt to present that image - their hypocrisy keeps shining through! Pelosi's public accusations against DeLay for a Lobbyist-funded trip only to have the follow-up investigation expose her as being one of the biggest offenders of that in Washington is a Prime Example. Her comments right after ("You have to treat Dems different from GOP because THEY are the criminals...") just added fuel to the fire!

America wants controversy. We are a "National Enquirer" populus. Sticking with the issues and playing fair is booooooooring.........
I am not sure I agree. The last 2 elections were probably the nastiest this country has ever had, and people got sick and tired of it from BOTH sides! Polls show (and we all know how much stock the Dems put in polls) that Americans are not comfortable with how we slander and attack our Presidents today. There was a time when you were respectful when talking about ANY President. We now have people publicly comoparing our Presidents to Genetalia! Politics has gone too far, and people would rather hear how a Candidate is going to help and solve problems than bash each other & fling mud.
Guys like Dean, who every major Dem Politician has backed away from, has been sent out front like some rabid dog to attack the GOP, say as much outlandish controversial stuff he can, and instead of helping, I think he is making the DNC look foolish! Dems say, 'Dean doesn't speak for me.' Then why do you still have him out there as the Chairman of the DNC?! So-called Dem Party leaders like Dean, Kerry, & Durbin give a bad light to the DNC because they attack our troops, attack the President, and engage in dirty politics/mud-slinging while saying the DNC has no platform or ideas and doesn't have to have one right now (as Dean said several months ago when he pointed out that all the DNC needs to do right now is criticize the Pres and the GOP.)!
I think the American people are tired of that and demand ideas and answers. The reason bush's numbers are down is befcause, for 1, he isn't giving the American people any ideas or answers on Immigration, choosing instead to ignore the problem. While millions of Mexicans are marching in our streets raising Mexican flags and saying how they are here to take Mexican Land back, Bushg was saying he would veto any plan that did not call for Amnesty/nationalizing the millions of illegals in this country! THAT is not the idea or answers the American people want......but while Bush is giving the people ideas and answers (just the wrong ones), at least he is giving them ideas and answers! They are getting NOTHING from the Democrats except more mud-slinging and dirty politics, like Feingold's attempt to censure Bush for a LEGAL program! :roll:
People are hungry for leadership going in the right direction. The people are getting leadership from Bush and the GOP, but they just don't necessarily like where it is going or the message they are getting right now. But the GOP and Bush are the only ones offering any leadership, guidance, or direction for the country right now.
You think the voters will vote for people who are trying to lead but are having problems doing it or for the politicians who sat off to the side, watched things 'going to he!! in a hand-basket' but did nothing?
As the old saying goes, "Lead, follow, or get the h@ll out of the way!" So far the Dems have not lead, have not followed, and are just standing in the way while pointing fingers!
