Bush in 2004, and barricade-bashing cyberpunks like⟳ Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, founder of the popular Daily Kos Web site, whose participant-readers attack all things Republican with the same fervor they showed when championing the already forgotten Ned Lamont in his unsuccessful attempt⟳ to unseat Senator Joseph Lieberman in 2006, Bai reluctantly and repeatedly owns up to a hard truth: “There’s not much reason⟳ to think⟳ that the Democratic Party has suddenly overcome⟳ its confusion about the passing of the industrial economy and the cold war, events that left the party, over the last⟳ few decades, groping for some new philosophical framework.””
