Judging by this, I'd say the nomination.
roachboy, your post says what I think in a wittier way.
My only amendment is about the straightline issue. Opinion polls suggest that the public is not associating the Democrat brand with Congress' current actions in a positive way. If I was keeping score, it looks like Bush is doing pretty well. Gonzo-gate is out of the news with Alberto still in office, he got funding for the Iraq war on his own terms, and incredibly made Congress out to be a bunch of obstructionists, and No Child Left Behind got a boost today from an independent study.
The only thing worse for the Dems than looking powerless in the minority is looking foolish and powerless in the majority. That seems to be what is happening right now.
