Many Senate Democrats may not be running but they are still vulnerable for the message they are sending out. Chris Dodd had that problem this morning on FNS. He had to defend Pelosi, Reid and Dean while distancing himself from their non message consisting of doom and gloom along with a zero Democrat plan for the future.
How long can Democrats keep telling their supporters they don't need a plan? Their MoveOn crowd won't accept any support for anything Bush does and their state constitutents, who are more moderate, won't support these radical views.
I believe that's why Dodd now claims the Republican Contract With America was not responsible for the Republican takeover of congress, and that it was more a case that Republicans attacking Clinton that accomplished it. If Democrats concede the Contact With America worked, it begs the question of where the Democrat party plan is now? If they deny this was the reason for their loss in 1994, it allows them to avoid having to explain what they plan on doing now or in the future.
As much as we complain about our infighting, can you imagine how bad it would be if our party leaders refused to say what they stand for or would do if elected? This has got to be driving Democrats nuts.
let them continue to deny it...
at the rate that the Republicans are being trigger happy in their own faces.... we need them to continue to be oblivious....
One of the better posts of the day here.
WOW...that is an amazing post..
Have you been saving that up, or what??
You really did dissect those demrats...didn't you.
To go the opposite direction....the Republicans better not make THEIR message..that the dems don't have a message, or they will be in trouble also..
We don't want to hear about the dem's lack of plans...we want to hear what THEY think should be done.
