It is almost like they don't want the responsibility of being President. This way they can blame everything on the Republicans.

I had always said that Gore was handed the presidency and screwed up badly and lost. Then in 2004 they had a very good chance of winning it back. People were unhappy and things in Iraq were going badly. I don't know if Howard Dean or any of the other candidates would have been able to do any better, but they lost again. I always say that one of their problems is that they never fight back. Bush attacked Kerry and he refused to fight back or defend himself. I think people want to see someone that will stand up and hit back when they are hit. If you come off like any kind of wimp it hurts you bad and a lot of the dems come off as wimps.
