Don't take it from me, take it from one of the top Democrats in Congress. Rahm Emanuel. On Iraq:

Emanuel wants to use that rising public anger to make the Democrats the nation's true governing party...

The secret for the Democrats, says Emanuel, is to remain the party of reform and change. The country is angry, and will only get more so as the problems in Iraq deepen. Don't look to Emanuel's Democrats for solutions on Iraq. It's Bush's war, and as it splinters the structure of GOP power, they're waiting to pick up the pieces.

On critical domestic issues:

Reform of Social Security and other entitlements? Too big, too woolly, too risky. If the president wants to propose big changes to entitlements, he can lead the charge.

Even in the majority, Democrats have no solutions. They are entirely about scoring political points and are quite content to leave substantive policy debates and answers to our most pressing problems to the Republicans. Without Joe Lieberman, the Democratic party is in dire need of adult supervision. Not only is Barack Obama not the answer, neither are dinosaurs like Biden and Dodd.
