THE DEMOGRAPHICS of the Daily Kos readership confirm something I had dimly suspected. The current crowd whipsawing the Democratic Party between money and the need to appeal to the swing voters, are largely old McGovernites, for who the current war is Vietnam and George Bush is Richard Nixon but seen through a golden mist where they conquered by ending the war, while causing the party to lose two elections in a row. The party remembers, but seems unable to keep them from repeating the damage they did to it in 1968 and 1972. They need to lose more elections to bring them to their senses.
