26. It's all about the media.
An attacking conservative media (and attack conservative politicians) versus the passive liberals they pay to represent the liberal side, and a number of passive Dems in Congress like Gephardt who cared more about their own planned presidential try than in supporting Gore.

Democrats weren't team players. They weren't aggressive at going after their opponents, instead they sat their weakly and meekly swatting away defensively as a bunch of lies were leveled at them.

We need to gain control of some portion of the media (not to make up lies like the Repubs do, but to get something more distinctly 'fair and balanced,' and we need to vote liberal Dems in who care more about their ideology than about getting re-elected.

We may also need to look into the way ethics in the media and ownership of the media is arranged.
