Reply #60: For your information it was I who coined the term "fear monger" in the 1992 Clinton campaign. [View All]

Which was used effectively to undermine the smears Bush was using.


The real problem is not panic or no-panic, but thinking that if we all take Prozac and go to positive thinking seminars that the election will magically be won by our side.

A big part of the problem is that we are not nationalizing the election on our side. The GOP says Republicans better vote because Obama stinks but our side does not NATIONALLY say that the GOP stinks. We are running campaigns locally, that has been announced by our party leadership. You know what that means? Every man for himself. We are not showcasing the worst of the Republicans in national TV ads as poster children for all that is wrong with the GOP.


This is why so many on our side are in trouble. There are a few exceptions and a few have pulled it out but so many others are in deep trouble and unable to get above the GOP NARRATIVE against us. We don't spread our own narrative against them and that is a big part of why we are losing so many races. Just look at Alaska. Astounding that Miller could be winning when he is against all the Federal aid Alaska needs and rakes in.

They have seized on the weak economy and say it is all our fault but we have no national TV ads to get above the right wing noise machine and are just hiding under the desk while they scream that it's all our fault. This is why so many Democrats are being hammered.
