For those of you who enjoyed the 2008 campaign get ready because the Democrats plan on doing it all over again. According to Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic party plans on retaining the change message for their 2010. Basically its vote for us, or its back to the bad old days of George Bush.
“This time we will make the case that supporting a Republican is simply turning back the clock to Bush economic policies, the same policies that got us into this mess to begin with......will I think put themselves clearly in the position where they represent the status quo and that the Democrats, while we have the White House and both houses of Congress, remain the party of change and reform.”

Its all they got. They certainly don’t have “vote for us because we are performing so well for you.”
Bush’s fault will not work this time, in fact it is likely to backfire big time.
They could get a LOT more traction if they blamed REAGAN!
"Yeah, we remember the days before the Democrats took control of Congress!" And then show that map with the blue parts of the country where, before 2006. there was low unemployment, and then show the map now, with all the red areas of hign unemployment.
Forget subtleties--use facts the way the Dems do--like sledgehammers--and let the chips fall where they will!
You mean the bad old days of 5% unemployment when we all had jobs? :)
BTTT
A lot of people will remember during the Bush administration they had jobs and MONEY in their pockets.
