Reply #22: You could argue that the party is in good shape, great would be hard

Considering, well we didn't really win anything this election. You could easily argue that Bush was simply impossible to defeat because he was a war-time president and that all of our senate losses were in states that Bush took in double digits. You could argue that considering the circumstances Kerry did extremely well making it such a close race.

Or, you could argue that the party has some serious problems, the Kerry campaign was poorly run, and that Bush is a fucking moron who should've been destroyed in a landslide.

I tend to take a little bit of both.

And I don't really give a shit about McAuliffe. Frankly I'm greatful that he left the party with a surplus. It's not his fault we loose elections, it's the candidates' fault. The DNC Chair doesn't shape the message, he promotes the message, and more importantly raises money to promote the message.
