I'm told that this speech by Howard Dean about the Democratic Party kicks ass. Those who are unlikely to like a speech by Howard Dean about the Democratic Party probably should not bother to read it, however.

This is funny:

• Here in Washington, it seems that after every losing election, there's a consensus reached among decision-makers in the Democratic Party is that the way to win is to be more like Republicans.
  
  I suppose you could call that philosophy: if you didn't beat 'em, join them.
  
  I'm not one for making predictions -- but if we accept that philosophy this time around, another Democrat will be standing here in four years giving this same speech. we cannot win by being "Republican-lite." We've tried it; it doesn't work.
  The question is not whether we move left or right. It's not about our direction. What we need to start focusing on... is the destination.

Isn't that exactly how Clinton won?
