First the Clintons, then the Progs, have gutted the Dem party of any viable candidates / policies, so you won't hold power for a long, long time. If, by some fluke, you achieve a thin majority in the House, you will merely serve to remind the nation why Dems shouldn't hold power, and kill the chances for any Dem candidate in 2008 presidential bid. To cite an example, how is it, in a blue state like CA, that you can't field a candidate that can beat an Austrian-born body-builder-turned-actor? Zoo,

They already cracked the other one when they got him to compromise on torture and the suspension of habeus corpus. (Also, he's not offering anything concrete.
