By host Tom Ashbrook:

For ten years they’ve been in the minority party wilderness. Divided. Mocked. Side-swiped in the 2000 presidential election and whipped in 2004. And now the Democrats are dreaming “comeback.”

In a decade on top, the GOP has driven country into huge deficits, an ugly war, and a spreading swamp of corruption charges. The president’s poll numbers are lousy. Top dog Tom DeLay is headed out. Republicans are feuding over immigration and spending.

The Democrats suddenly look like the party of unity. But can they win again? Do they have the right stuff?

As the GOP struggles, we lift the hood and take a look at the Democrats.
