The better question would be, "Do Democrats have any sanity?"

Can democrats save their party ?
That would require them having some common sense. Of which I see no evidence of.

They're gonna have to purge their radical, socialist yearning progressives if they want to stay in contention.

Considering they are in denial about the fact that it needs saving, no i dont think they can.

White women have about 0.6 children per women.
Black women about 0.8 children per women.
Hispanic women about 1.2 children per woman.
The Republican Party is 90% white.
Do these people look like the "future"?
They don't look like they "have" a future. They look like they are going to die in the near future.

The Dems need to grow a backbone...
They need to stand up for what they believe in and stop letting the Republicans define the agenda

It's much more difficult than it seems because the Democratic party is a party of coalitions and coalition building is difficult.

Which is part of the reason it no longer represents the priorities of so many of it's members. If you try and please to many people you end up pissing them all off.
Well, all it'll take is letting the republicans have control for a 2 year session and the Democratic Party will be revived in a heart beat imho.... mainly because of the Republican agenda and their donothingness, and their corporate crony support, and their lack of support for the middle income family and reverence for the very elite, will show its face, once again....and as it did the last time they had Power.
I know that sounds cruel, but I honestly don't mean it to be, it's just the way it is....
the underdog is empowered....right now the Republicans/conservatives are in minority, so they have the upperhand in saying "It's not me that has messed things up", but when they do get the power, and do not reduce the deficit to zero, and keep adding to the debt, just as the Dems have, it'll be the Democratic Party's chance to bitch and moan and the conservatives to become disillusioned with their own party members, once AGAIN, and not go out and vote....
It's a merry go round...

The party with the majority controls the agenda and brings bills to the floor. The minority has no control over the agenda.

Nothing would make me happier than to see both parties collapse and 2 or more new ones be born out of the ashes. The 2 Party system is the problem.

Actually, if you look at the Democratic Party, it's not that the leaders are trying to please too many people, but are trying to please their constituents and not "Leading". Leading means looking at the big picture.
Look at the Blue dogs. The majority of Americans wanted the Public Option, but the Blue dogs became indoctrinated by Fox and the right wing and lost sight of the big picture. The health care bill, as good as it is, is only a shadow of what it could have been. Republicans are convinced it's bad, but can't say how. They just repeat made up stuff.

The appeared to have plenty of backbone when they rammed through an economic succubus bill and a health care deform bill that more than 6 out of 10 Americans didn't want.The Dems need to grow a backbone...

Looks like they're going to be sucking the big chili dog this November over it, too.

Tell that to the Republican Party. They have done such a good job of stopping everything, seems they are the ones in control.
