Any idea, DU? We need the names of the brainiacs who are (evidently) advising our politicos.

18. Problem is
We never know which one is saying what and who they're campaigning for or why they're saying one thing one week and another the next. No more of this. Full disclosure.

So many strategists but no strategy?

By Yoni

From: 2006 Elections Table
Pls help me to understand who are these self-titled "Democratic Strategists" we see on TV every night?
And how come that a party with so many strategists has no startegy whatsoever?

17. Time to name names, you bet
I just emailed a few people on that this week. No more of these "Democratic strategists" and "Democratic consultants" and even "party leaders" articles. I want names. I'm damned sick and tired of this fucking cat and mouse game affectng the lives of real people and we don't even know who in the hell they are.
