Missing Their Moment

If Hurricane Katrina exposed anything, it showed us the Democrat's inability to step up and take charge. How will it be any different after they take back Congress next year?

The Democratic leadership seems somehow unable to grasp the huge gap in outrage between them and their base. Go anywhere, talk to people who are Democrats or, poor souls, progressives, and the sheer fury of everyday people, if it could be harnessed, would solve this winter’s upcoming energy crisis. People are not only enraged; they are also deeply worried.
