What the Democrats need more than anything, with midterms coming up in the fall and a presidential election two years later, are personable candidates of strong character who have at least some measure of political courage and are willing to stand up for what they truly believe. This is the stuff that leaders are made of. When an empire is in decline, personalities like those described above are far and few between. And even when they do surface, the populations of the decline are so bewitched that they don't see the candidate for whom he or she is. That's why declines usually signal the end.
