Davey Moore comments further on the Democrats problem: "At what point did petty political bickering become more important than social justice for the neediest families in Milwaukee?" I think the Democrats' weakness reflects a broader problem: they lack a vision and an overall sense of what they stand for.
Rather than come forward with an overall vision of what direction Wisconsin should be heading, they hope to develop a winning coalition by appealing to people as members of one or another interest groups. (I was first struck by this tendency twenty-five years ago as a delegate to the state Democratic convention. Resolution after resolution was passed demanding rights for this or that group.)
