For such a long question, the answer is quite short: abortion.

Democrats are losing territory with every election because they don't have any solutions to offer -- only opposition to whatever the other side is doing. Affirmative action is in its last throes, big labor is imploding, their foreign policy has been nonexistent for 60 years ("let's do whatever the UN tells us to" is not effective foreign policy), and conservatism is making inroads to ethnic communitites. The one area they still have a lock on is feminism. Abortion rights are central to that movement, and they will defend Roe like a mama bear over her cubs. /irony

Roe is the litmus test from now on. The other stuff is incidental.

edit: erm..is this thread about roberts or bolton? I'm cornfused
