You know, you had a hard time with your Buchanans in 1992.
Democrats survived its Kennedy affliction from the 1980s, and prospered (relatively speaking) for years thereafter.
Boxer may or may not be the "face" of the Democratic party now. Frankly, I think you could argue that the differences between California's two senators and their approach to the Rice nomination that so affected you reflects the difference that the party is trying to sort out now.
You seem to prefer to look at the snapshot and conclude that not only that this is Boxer's ugly day in the sun, but also to draw long-term lessons from it. I prefer to think that it's not a snapshot, it's a movie.
