Forgetting ideology, can the current Democrat leaders lead - ie., are they good leaders. Can they drive agendas, communicate well, make smart decisions, manage crisis, make unpopular choices when neccessary, etc.?

The Republicans is charge now clearly cannot.

It's all relative comparisons. A retarded monkey would be better than what we have now and I figure even the democrats can manage retarded monkey levels of leadership.
