This is the first year of democrats power. Republicans dont need to ‘go positive’ as MSNBC, CNN, McCain and Grahm are demanding. All they need to do is drive up democrats negatives.
Taking positive pro-action positions this early out is dangerous. Look at McCain in 2008 flipping positions on domestic drilling, just to have oil prices crash.
I am reminded of happy face Jack Kemp who preached that we can cut taxes, increase spending and magic economic growth will take care of it all. Add neo-cons and two wars and nation building, all paid for by economic growth
Idiots!
The 2010 elections should be more about denying democrats anymore seats and taking away a few just to prevent a rubber stamp for Obama’s agenda. That's the short term plan.
The long term plan then should be more focused on making the McCain, Bush, Graham wing of the party the “fringe.”
Forming a third party is not the answer
