North Korea and the Democrats

I have no idea how North Korea's N-bomb test will play out. It is certainly very bad news indeed. Politically, though it proves the point I have been making about Democrats for at least 2 years: a political party that's centering ideal is "we're not them" is: A. No party at all. and B. Subject to outside events since there is no reason to vote FOR the Democrats - only reason to vote AGAINST the G.O.P.
The Democratic "leaders" unwillingness to forcefully get behind even a basic overall agenda that is a clear alternative to the G.O.P. makes them utterly reliant on events outside it's control in order to win. And outside events cut both ways. Foley = Good for Dems. Nutters with Nuclear Bombs = Bad for Dems. North Korea handed the R.N.C. a gift yesterday. Watch the fear mongers go to work this week... Watch the Democrats slip again in the polls.... Why? They have no offense. Elections are won on OFFENSE. Not defense. Ask Rove. He's good at it.
