Washington Post reporter Dan Balz covers Terry McAuliffe’s defensive description of what went wrong in 2004, and not a single Democratic consitutency is awarded a “liberal” label, not even the “grass-roots activists” at MoveOn who hated war in Afghanistan and preferred Presidents Dean or Kucinich.

How gentle. Do you think Balz might have a found few people to suggest that McAuliffe himself stood at the wheel while the party was shellacked two cycles in a row?
