Thanks, Bob, for what is probably the best analysis of the Democratic Party's woes I've read in this election cycle. You didn't even drive me off when you went into your "little anthropological geek-out." In the eye of this storm, Deidre DeJear has been steady and terrific. But so many people evacuated and have missed witnessing her courage and vision. There's just under a month left in this campaign. When I continue to see DeJear out solo on the campaign trail, I start wondering where the heck are Tom Harkin, the Vilsacks, Dave Loebsack, Fred Hubbell? Where the heck are the Obamas?
