This needs to be repeated over and over.

Great post.

It's hard to say in hindsight what would have worked for Gore, if anything. The showdown shows to me that both men were woefully out of touch, and so was the Democratic Party.

There are things that Obama has done that are disappointing to me, but he's changed the way Dems campaign, imo. Hopefully future Presidential campaigners will take a page of out the OFA book and really energize voters.
