...criticize his own party for perceived failures; he's less a Democrat than a populist-leftie. Many Democrats, like Cubs fans, are understandably exasperated by the Blue team's string of losses and lame campaigns. Even when things are looking positive, Moore always seems to expect a Steve Bartman moment. On the book's cover, he raises the question "How many Democrats does it take to lose the most winnable election in American history?"
