A reminder...

...from the LA Times Ron Brownstein of why I bother...

It's like watching a baseball game where one team is always at bat, or a basketball game where one team always has the ball. The best Democrats can do is hold down the Republican score; the Democrats have found virtually no opportunities to advance their own ideas or to steer the discussion onto their strongest terrain.

But a lack of ideas isn't the Democrats' largest problem...

...The Democrats' biggest problem is that they don't have a viable means to spotlight or forge a party consensus behind these ideas.

We've got ideas, but somebody needs to tell the story. As many times in as many ways to as many people as possible. Hence my humble efforts.

Thanks, Ron. I needed that.
