Maybe Democrats are on message

James Taranto:

...

... from the Onion: "Democrats: 'If We're Gonna Lose, Let's Go Down Running Away From Every Legislative Accomplishment We've Made.' "

The Democrats' message, in short, is that the Democrats are really lousy at delivering a convincing message. Since nobody finds this message convincing, it has a certain surface plausibility. But "We're really lousy at delivering a message" is a lousy message--so the problem actually is one of substance, not delivery.

...
Elsewhere in the piece Taranto deals with many of the Democrat metaphors in this campaign and asks, "Oh no, another metaphor! And a deep question: If it takes eight years to dig a hole, how long does it take to dig half a hole?"

My answer depends on whether the hole is in a cemetery or a building site.
