Democrats' bind

Poor Democrats.
Wondering why their policies aren't as popular as they wish they would be.
Is the answer easy?
The answer is probably, easy, and unsolvable.
Look at the excerpt at Blue Virginia. Democratic policies would be more popular if only government had more power and more money.
Democrats see themselves fighting for the people against big business.
The Tea Party sees Democrats fighting with big business against them.
Government preferences or business deals, it doesn't matter. Elites are making decisions to benefit their friends at the expense of the majority.
Lobbyist and bureaucrat - Democrats see them differently, but the result is the same.
Democrats better get used to being unpopular - since their popularity was based on spending other people's money.
