Yup. I can understand, from a dispassionate point of view, why they were so enthusiastic about hippy-punching on things like gay rights; relatively small group of voters that they had confidence had no choice to vote for them. But anyone with any clue can look at electoral history and see that the party in power *must* get the economy improving -- and by that, I mean jobs for voters, not stock market prices -- or pay the price. Their timidity about getting the size of stimulus needed, their killing of cramdowns, the general refusal to contemplate anything like real controls on banking... that never made sense.
