IMO, Democrats are too scattered by what they stand for.

One group are for abortion rights but not necessarily for gun control.
Another is for environmental issues but not expansive social programs.
Seems they aren't united, rather a collection of different factions.

Therfore, it's very tough to appear to be a Dem candidate with a cohesive message.

(And some "dems" are just anti "Conservative"/Republican/Bush...no matter what the politics.)
