In answer to DallasDoc's excellent essay, I'm reposting something I put up at The Other Place many moons ago.
This should not be taken as any kind of backhanded insult to DD's diary, which I largely agree with, though I don't spend a lot of time thinking about the Democrats and their choices anymore. I repost it now because I think it's important to understand that they don't care whether they win, and they haven't cared for a long time.
