1. Ditto,

and I've been upset with the Dems since before the scandal.

3. I I'm also getting increasingly upset the way they are approaching the midterms

The national party seems to be giving up on the Congress and concentrating on keeping the Senate.As Susie Madred says quote:democrats like losing

[elleng]

5. That would be the worst,

and most unforgivable thing. We need someone like Howard Dean to lead us out of this mess.

[cui bono]

7. Yeah, Dems need to play to win, not play not to lose.

They don't get it. I'm not sure they ever will.

13. McAuliffe won

[Berlum]

14. Play to win + 1,000,000,000,000,000

2. Yes, I would love to know the whole story behind this.

You know, beyond the usual - Democrats being their own worst enemy.

4. I was upset about it

even before the scandal.

6. Well you abandoned the proper spelling of her name. It's Buono not Bruno.

8. Let's be realistic

Most all of the big state Democrats endorsed her (yes, including Cory Booker, who endorsed her early and very loudly, despite her saying he did "nothing&quot . But Christie was leading in every single poll the entire year--from as much as 42 points to as little as 18 points (still huge!). He was the incumbent. He was popular at the time. He was going to be reelected. Politicians, for better or worse, do not spend their capital on races that are not going to be won.

I'm finding it a little untoward of her to be blaming other people now. That's not done in politics. She certainly must not have plans to run for office again, because ragging on fellow Democrats while the Republican is in the midst of a big scandal is not really helpful.

9. I agree with her in this sense.The party as of late seems to be running a lot of weak

Candidates mainly women.People don't want to admit it but running as a female candidate for office is harder than a male running so right out the box she's climbing a uphill battle. Most of these woman will most likely lose it doesn't fill like it is the year of the woman

12. no man was going to beat Christie either

He was just to popular then. Is easy to complain after things come out. There weren't many on du who cared about the election during the campaign.

Even now most are focused on pres race more than 2014

Not sure why you are trying to blame this on women.
