We're still the 'big tent' Party…

…but we're getting better at being united without being uniform. Maybe better than ever, according to this from Jonathan Singer...

A new vote analyisis by Congressional Quarterly paints Congressional Democrats' actions in 2005 in a different light, however. Using metrics such as party unity and rate of opposition to measures favored by President Bush, the CQ analysis found that Democrats were more unified in their opposition to Republicans than nearly any other point in the last fifty years -- and these numbers don't even include the Democrats' successful effort to save Social Security from the President's partial privatization plan.

Next time you see a rant that begins "Why don't the Democrats…?" remember that more often than you may think, it seems the Democrats do. Just a few more members on our side and we're not only fighting, but we're winning.

Eyes on the prize.
