As I found in my prosecutorial years, when a crime is committed in a landmark location, the world is really watching. The case becomes instantly high-profile, no matter who was killed. ... So the pressure is on, to solve the crime and do it quickly.
There are many theories about why the Democrats have been unable to get much done in the last twenty years, even when Bill Clinton was in the White House. Many of those theories try to identify what the party didn't, or couldn't, do.

He says that's not the case at all -- they know what to do. They just don't have the courage to do it. His book "Fear and Courage in the Democratic Party" challenges Democrats to follow the examples of courageous people like Paul Wellstone, Nancy Pelosi, and MoveOn.org.
