Everything is relative. You have to admit, compared to the Republican candidates, the Dems are incredibly diverse.

You might consider taking off the democrat "rose colored glasses" before you say this. I'm interested in "diverse ideas" and dont' really care about ethnic diversity. The democrats all agree that higher taxes and higher spending will lead to higher happiness.

I don't know...like I said before, Bush has managed to flush a WHOLE LOTTA money down the toilet with the approval of a Republican Congress. Add to that that before George came to Georgetown, the budget was balanced...scratch that, it had a surplus.

We got money for wars but can't educate the poor.

The Republicans can still probably say that the Dems are more likely to raise taxes. But they can't really claim anymore that the Dems are bigger spenders.In fact, the Dems are now the ones who are more likely to talk about the need to reign in federal deficits. As someone once said, "Democrats are Tax And Spend. Republicans are Don't Tax And Spend." I suspect this is an issue that will be raised more in the general election than it is now.
