Dems Again Fail to Learn Lessons in Advertising

"We didn't sell it well enough" seems to be the mantra of Democrats - who had one of the most productive legislative sessions in recent history - after their recent trouncing in the polls.

And now they're at it again, as Nancy Pelosi is once again taking over the top spot in the House for the Democrats.  Despite being ridiculed as the most liberal House member when she first became Speaker.  Despite the fact that her liberal reputation (deserved or not) is the antithesis of the fiscal conservatism that swept the nation and the elections.  Despite the fact that she was the electoral leader on the the wrong side of a transformative election, in which voters roundly decided that their will wasn't being reflected in the policies coming out of Washington.

To these voters, her nomination is just another "%#@& you".  Some House Dems get it, while most seem to have acquiesced to protect their own position within the party.  Perhaps, however, it's time for these Congresspeople not to worry about their place in their party, but their party's place in governance.
