I'll put a beer down on my bet, Nick. :-)
I don't even know what you're betting on, Dan. I read an article that
suggested the Democratic party might never win another election
("perpetual defeat"). It was posted here by JDG, but JDG says he didn't
bring up the idea that the Demcratic party has no future.
I like Dan's parsing of JDG's statement, but I see where Nick's coming from, too. At the risk of drawing unwarranted conclusions about his motives, JDG may want to have both ways: he posts (I read: "endorses") an article that presents evidence that the author believes bodes ill for the Dems, but distances himself from the author's conclusions by calling those conclusions "all too gloomy."
John: do we read you right?
