Dems to Hollywood: The End

Scot Lehigh argues in this Boston Globe story, that the Democrats are too involved with the Hollywood elites to relate with the people in the red states. That conclusion is true as far as it goes, but the problem for Lehigh is the same one Democrats have been having since the election. As this article makes clear, they think that somehow, against all evidence to the contrary, they can win the next time by simply re-packaging the same old product. For them it is all about marketing and good advertising, as if how an argument is presented is more important than what is actually being said. And the product that the Democrats keep trying to sell us in ever changing packages is the same old big government socialism to which they have been tied for the last 60 years. But the shine has long worn off of that ideology. The world has moved on while the Democrats cling to the ideas of the past. When will they see the light?
