"I Fear I've Seen This Movie, and it's Groundhog Day."

John Fund has some thoughts on how the Kerry campaign ended up as “Dukakis: the sequel“:

No doubt few Democrats will agree, but Mr. Caddell’s larger point–that the Democratic Party will have some soul-searching to do should Mr. Kerry lose–is clearly valid. A party that is so myopic as to repeat so many of the mistakes it made in an historic loss only a decade and a half ago is a party that needs to re-examine its relationship with the American people.

Meanwhile, Eric S. Raymond notes that the DNC will have to campaign with a mainstream media who’s finding its power increasing diluted.
