One of the interesting problems is that the Republican party believes so many different, and in some cases contradictory, things, that there is nothing sensible left for the Democrats to take up.
People would laugh if they said they would cut budgets, even thought Bush is spending heavily.
Steve Jarding, who ran Democrat Mark Warner's successful 2001 gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, noted Warner's success in stifling some of his party's stands as he courted conservative rural voters, a target considered key to future national prospects.
"He maintained distance from the polarizing issues our base wanted us to talk about," Jarding said. "It's not that Mark Warner wasn't pro-choice, he was. He just didn't want to talk about it."
What should Democrats talk about?
Everybody knows what demoncrapts stand for, even if they don't talk about it. The reason mark warner won is because of all the dumb-arse liberals moving into Northern Virginia, but the real Virginians from the rest of the state need to step up and vote, they did in the Presidential election. Get rid of MARK! Vote for the real Warner.
