    If Democrats are willing to set aside some of their more meaningless totems for a while, real gains can be made,

Can they do that without losing their voting base though? Each 'meaningless totem' has a flock of foam-mouthed crazies that demand that their issue not only be addressed, but addressed on an ever larger scale to an ever more 'done with you whackjobs' audience.

I don't think they suffer to much from trying. "They're too busy taking away your healthcare for us to take away their guns" has a certain phlegmatic appeal IMHO.
