Strong and wrong beats weak and right?

James Traub on why the Dems can't possibly win.

Who is Traub? Traub had previously called Dems Bush-haters after never noticing the venom directed at Gore. In October he had a similar article which was rephrased in shorter fashion at Suburban Gorilla - If only the Democrats would go back to taking it up the ass without vaseline, I'd feel so much better. BartCop catches him saying "We live in a culture that values brazen certainty and loud conviction, no matter how wrongheaded. Pity the Democrats, stuck with the wrong set of virtues."
