I agree. There is no clear leader willing to hang their balls out there. So what you are left with is a lot of rhetoric, and side swipe politics with little action behind them.
What the Dem's need is a few hardcore people to throw out front, and should be talking about whatever it is the party even stands for anymore. About the only one I can think of, seriously, who is even out there talking about anything in nonelection years has been Gore and his environment crusade.
Hilary Clinton, who I would vote for just to get Bill back in the white house, would be in a lot better position if she stood up and took on some big issues now, and started the movement for change. But her, like all of them as far as I can tell, do little more than side swipes to get a headline here or there, and it fades away.
The Dems as a collective should ALL be talking about whatever they stand for now, and have a unified vision moving forward. Hell, they could be ranting about the same shit that had gotten Bill Clinton in the office in the FIRST PLACE more than a decade ago! Balance budget, healthcare, etc. But no. More side swipes, and rhetoric.
Until they get some balls, they will continue to take it in the ass.
