To Win, Democrats Must Become Republicans

Democrats cannot win elections. If they hope to win, then they have to stop being Democrats.

The 70-page report, "The Politics of Polarization," by two veteran Democratic strategists who worked in the Clinton White House, takes the party and former presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, to task for being weak on national security and cultural issues. It also criticizes them for championing a liberal agenda that has driven centrist, married and religious voters into the Republican column.
The most controversial indictment of the party's failures is the study's assertion that Democrats cannot hope to win the next presidential election by energizing the party's base but instead must reach out to swing voters with a less-polarizing message.

Can they do it? Well, as Al Gore famously said, "A tiger doesn't change its spots."
And, considering that their moneybags are all leftist extremist who will not open their wallets for "Republicans light," I don't think they can do it.
