Been agitating about this for some time now. Two of the WORST-EVER Democratic election losses in recent history have happened on HER watch. 2014 of course, and more critically, 2010 - in which the teabaggers got their big launch and they've never looked back from that, either. And what did she do about it? NOTHING.

Where is Howard Dean when we need him?
