Matthews asks if electorally dominant Democratic Party "suffers from the fact it's such a bi-coastal party"

So the West-Coast Democrats are infighting with the East-Coast Democrats?

No, we suffer from a dumb as a brick, let's vote against our own self interests, flyover section of the country.

So the Democrats are a "bi-coastal party" in that we basically swept the states on both coasts? Hey Chris- the Democrats also won a lot of states that AREN'T on either coast.

Or is Chris saying that the Democrats are so dominant, they "must" be divided? By that logic, the Republicans must be in awesome shape.

The Republicans certainly ARE more united than the Democrats- it's really not that hard to keep a tiny band of morons united. Is that what Matthews meant?

Don't know about bi-coastal but we do suffer from being such a big tent multi interest party. Sometimes I envy republicans, all they have to appeal to is lower base instincts.

We suffer from a corporate media that won't tell the truth.

"And the banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place."

- Sen. Dick Durbin

I'm not sure that Coasts have as much to do with it as Metropolitan areas.

Two Democratic Senators in each of the following states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas, North Dakota, West Virginia and Montana.

Democratic governors in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

What do all those states have in common? No oceans.

"Bi-coastal" indeed.

TRANSLATION: Tweety wonders if the fact that a VAST MAJORITY of the American people voted Democratic in the past two national elections means the Republicans will suffer by becoming a regional party . . .
