What's Wrong with the Democrats?

I had Christmas dinner with the family of two of my very best friends, Emily and Judy, yesterday. Joining us were two great women, Catherine and Cecilia, who are sisters. Catherine is 90, Cecilia is 86. The two of them knew more about politics than most people. They never miss The New York Times and were fascinated by the Internet.

During dinner, Catherine looked at us and asked with some frustration, "What's wrong with the Democrats?" It's a very good question a lot of people are trying to answer. Catherine said she needed some answers. At 90, she wasn't sure how many more years she could wait for to find out.

So while you're hopefully enjoying the holidays -- give Catherine an answer.

What's wrong with the Democrats and how can they win again?
