One consolation of defeat is that it provides an opportunity to adapt to reality. Victors, on the other hand, tend to get lost in the high. Just a week before the Democratic Party's landslide last Tuesday, Simon Bazelon released the "Deciding to Win" report in the hopes of persuading liberal elites that they're alienating the moderates within their traditional ranks.
