Whither the Democratic Party?

In the wake of the latest election fiasco, leading Democrats are debating what adjustments to make. Here are the leading possibilities:

1. Reach out to social conservatives by embracing a pro-life, pro-gun, pro religion-in-the-schools, anti-gay, anti- evolution agenda, rename party the “Me, Too Party.”

2. Reach out to neo-conservatives by embracing a unilateralist, preemptive war strategy, find somebody who's never been in a war to explain it.

3. Reach out to business community with anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-environment agenda financed by massive borrowing, rename party the “Federalist-Whig Party.”

4. Wait until tax on capital gains is abolished (sometime early February), sell the fabulous new Democratic Party headquarters building to the Republican Party (they can afford it), divvy up the profit and skip town.
