Democrats need to stop looking to a single leader to be a savior, and especially not to a Senator. In two and four years, they are going to be running against Washington and a bunch of fat cuts Republicans who are not trying to solve the problems that real Americans face. For example, the GOP is going to repeal Obamacare, but it doesn't have any solutions that will work as well -- so once this happens, the Democrats need to make sure the Republican governments owns the problems with health care. There are new leaders out there, and Democrats need to develop them.
