Oh, yeah, I watched it. Wasn't a spanking, but we definitely lost. Too much bullshit off-tackle north/south running when we should have spread things out a LOT more.

Then you haven't been on the Daily Kos site in a while, or your sense of the center has been skewed. The "regular" left are the Bill Clinton Democrats, who have largely lost their voice in this election. They are being drowned out by shouting from the far-left and the right, both sides hoping to pull them either further left or to the right.
The far left are the people who bend their morals every which way in order to justify Bill Ayers' actions...who demonize our troops as baby-killing scum, who loathe capitalism and capitalism-spreading foreign policy, and who romanticize Cuba, Venezuela, and Che Guevara. They're not hard to spot in forums, just give them a little bait of a topic and their venom will spray forth. Their greatest defeat was the collapse of the Soviet Union, and they have been bitter at the world ever since.
