Democrats have been plagued on the campaign trail by the White House’s trouble communicating a “clear and concise” message, Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell said Wednesday.
“The message hasn't been getting out clearly and correctly since almost the beginning of the Obama administration,” Rendell told Fox News.
Rendell pointed specifically to the health care law, which Republicans have used to hammer Democrats on the campaign trail.
“When I ask people about, for example, the health care bill, they say, ‘well, the health care bill, I like a lot of the provisions, but it's going to add to the deficit,’” Rendell said. “No, it isn't … The CBO says over the next 20 years, it will reduce the deficit by $1 trillion.”
The term-limited governor and former chairman of the Democratic National Committee said that health care is just one of a number of issues on which Democrats have struggled to effectively make their case.
“What happened is the Democrats joined the Obama administration, lost a spin war on stimulus, on health care, even financial responsibility…95 percent of the people should have been for that bill,” he said. “It hasn't been a clear and concise enough message."
No, fast Eddie. The dems problem is the message DID get out in spite of the media’s best efforts to dissemble, misrepresent and bury the better part of what the left has been up to over the past two years or more.
Pretty tough to “spin” 10% unemployement and $1T+ deficits as far as the eye can see.
More of the same “the people are to stupid” meme they are passing among themselves.
This degree of precision prognostication is brought to you by the same people that believe globull warming will destroy the ecology and all living things in one hundred years. I do not believe either guesstimate and for the same reason, too many variables in play for too long an interval to arrive at a specific answer.

Hey Eddie: The message did get out clear enough and nobodys buying your BS or your direction.
