Joe Klein seems a bit baffled by Democrats? recent election strategy, as he shares in his most recent TIME column:
[T]he Democratic performance this year was one of the more mystifying, and craven, in memory. Usually, a political party loses when it has failed to do its job. These Democrats lost because they succeeded in doing what they’ve been promising for decades. They enacted their fantasies, starting with health care reform, and then ran away from their successes. Why on earth would a political party enact major pieces of legislation and then refuse to take credit for them?
Perhaps because they know the public doesn?t really like these ideas? Perhaps because Democrats know they often need to hide their true intentions to secure enough votes to win?
