Arianna Huffington: Will the Dems Ever Learn? "It's The National Security, Stupid"

When will they finally understand that they will not be a majority party again until they clearly define for the country where they stand on national security -- and why their way will keep us safer than what the other guys are doing?

You don't rise from the political ashes by standing around hoping the other guy blows it.

Like I said. Not that I think that the Democrats becoming a majority party is the best of all possible worlds--but the point noted above doesn't have to apply only to them.
