There’s Always An Excuse

By Matt Margolis | November 24, 2004

Senator-elect Barack Obama (D-IL) says that nationally his party doesn’t know what it stands for.

“We tend to talk more in policy terms and we’ve got our 10-point plans, but we don’t have a narrative, I think, of what it means to be a Democrat,” he tells The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm. Obama, keynote speaker at this year’s Democratic National Convention in Boston, was elected in November to the U.S. Senate.

“I think that if you ask the average person on the street: ‘What does it mean to be a Republican?’ - whether they agree with the Republicans or not, they have a clear sense of what the Republican Party stands for, and we’re going to have to, I think, do some intellectual work to make sure we understand what it means to be a Democrat.”

How sad… Besides the fact this is a lame excuse for losing the election, it seems like every time they lose they say they had problems getting their message out, defining what their message is, etc. etc. etc.

Can’t they just accept that a majority of people reject their message?

    Senator-elect Barack Obama (D-IL) benefited from the extreme character assasination of his first and real opponent by a liberal newspaper that fought to make his divorce papers public. While Mr. Obama actually appears to be very intelligent and thoughtful - I didn’t see him do anything to stop it. That kind of mud slinging is the lowest of lows. And as a result - I will withold respect for him until I see him win an election without it. I hope that HIS campaign is not the model for others.
