Word of the day

I subscribe to dictionary.com's word of the day and today it is pusillanimous. I do not think it is coincidence, given the recent election in which the Democrats lost yet again due to this highly apt description of their typical campaign approach. The only reason the Dems picked up seats in 2012 was because the President did not approach his campaign like this, instead defending his policy successes and framing it in appropriate moral terms. The Dems without Obama as anchor for that sort of messaging are pitiful.
