I think we need to let people tie the democrats to their failures on their own.

We need to have a positive message of how we learned our lesson and are going to do right by the American people.

1994. We won by providing a positive vision for the future.

Meanwhile, the Democrats, because they already have the generic advantage since people are upset at Republicans, merely have to lie about the Republican candidate, and pretend they are the real conservatives.

That’s how they are winning these elections — by saying they are the common-sense conservatives in the race, while the Republican is just some evil right-wing hack.

They learned it from the 2006 George Allen race — they can throw almost any charge against Republicans, and it will stick. In the Davis race, they just told everybody he was a racist who wanted to honor the founder of the KKK.

Republicans will have to “go away” for a while before being able to come back to saying the lesson has been learned.

The DCCC and Childers also promised pork to just about anyone that had their hand out. In the Eastern portion of the district, most Democrat voters were salivating at the chance that Childers would bring government money to keep temporary funded programs going and more farmer government subsidies. That is what I heard from here most of all by the voters...and that Davis wouldn't help those of us in the Eastern section of the district.
