James Carville stated "If we can't win in this environment, we have to question the whole premise of the party" Do you think that the Democratic party will move back to the right in order to pick up more votes? Or do you think the Iraqi War will have to end before things change?

I think that this a race by race election, and the DNC won't have to do ONE thing in order for ALL races to end up for the DNC. Just race by race the candidiates are going to have to figure out what is relevant to the voters. And right now they have a huge lead by NOT being republicans.

I used to be a Democrat, the Zell Miller kind of Democrat. The party is forever gone over into the never-never land of the lefties. There is no hope for them. Even if they win back the house they will be so utterly vindictive, they will get nothing done...and they'll prevent anyone else from getting anything done. Remember what Nancy Pelosi said a couple of years ago: Her sole aim was to destroy President Bush.

I think you're absolutely correct.
The Democrats take the House. The Republicans hold on to the Senate with a reduced majority. The Democrats have 45 Seats and need a net gain of 6 to take the Senate. I think they'll get 4 or 5 at most. I hope I'm wrong.
Why can't they do better? They are not as ruthless as the Republicans. They need to learn how to go for their opponents political jugular vein and create better negative adds.

I think after Tuesday, they'll be questioning the whole premise of the party as mister carville said.

Democrats have got to get themselves together to be a more effective groups. They have the issues to work with, they just have been doing a horrid job promoting themselves. They seem flat with little character at times as a party. They need to set themselves up with hard stances on certain issues.
As to them gaining the senate. It comes down to three too close to call races of which they need to win two.
