The Supreme Court gave it to their side. No more ties.

3. How Democrats Can Promote a Winning Campaign Message
How Democrats Can Promote a Winning Campaign Message

This time, the Democrats should create a theme that distinguishes them from the other party. They can accomplish this goal easily by using a slogan like "Vote Democratic, Live Healthy." The three issues mentioned earlier, accessible and affordable health care, cheap prescriptions and a clean environment, fit neatly within this theme.

Then what? The Democrats need to convey this message to the voters. They have several tools with which to do this. The Democratic National Committee chair, Howard Dean, could send out a memo to the House and Senate candidate committees asking them to adopt this message nationwide. The Party could purchase advertisements on television and radio to promote the theme as well.

In this way, the Democrats will co-opt Newt Gingrich’s "Contract with America" from 1994. Gingrich kept it simple – he promised to bring ten bills to a vote in the House of Representatives if the GOP took control of the House of Representatives.

By using these three issues, they could counter the Republican’s historical use of taxes, "isms" and crime to defeat Democrats. Each issue presents an opportunity for the Party.

7. I hate they we define ourselves by him .... ?????
The best we can do is win Congress back and hold him in check until we retake the White House in 2008.

8. true enough that this strategy will work in '06 and maybe even '08, but

...it is a double edged sword. Right now, a majority of Americans hate Bush, but that could change and then we have no identity.

I think we tried the anti-bush tactic in '04 and it didn't work so well. Moderates didn't have a good sense of what democrats were -- only what we weren't.

10. No reason why we can't do both.
Point out all that's wrong with Bush and what the alternative is, our agenda, etc.
