For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: after some introspection, Dems realize they've failed to adequately address the country's concerns.

You know the Democratic plans to jam their health care bills through Congress are in trouble when Democratic (and Hillary Clinton) pollster Mark Penn writes, "The litmus test of solid public support remains unmet, making this new strategy a potentially dangerous Molotov cocktails." Or when capital veteran and liberal columnist Al Hunt writes of the Obama White House's "inability to fashion a sustainable strategy for governing, to prioritize the velocity of the issues on the agenda."

That's Beltway-speak for a failure of an agenda. Anyone surprised?
