I was skeptical of that argument, but it could apply to the Democrats now: with little to hold onto, they could take this opportunity to make fundamental changes to their party, and position themselves as a legitimate part of change. Or they could just stay the course and miss out on the opportunity.

Yeah that was the theory. They were going to tear each other apart and would have to rebuild from the ground up. That prediction, like every other one, was just a little off.
Now they think (they know) that a vulgar bull#### artist is the way to win the White House. I don't know how they're going to top this one though. Someone's really going to have to come forward in the next 2.5 years, because they'll need a new candidate. Is Kid Rock electable?
