Democratic sources say the talking points were developed by Democratic Chairman Terry McAuliffe, former Clinton campaign strategist James Carville, Senate Majority Leader Daschle and former House Democratic Leader Gephardt.

I hope Carville, McAuliffe, Shrum and Billary live for another fifty years and continue to set strategy for the Dims. Bush has their number and is giving Republicans a master level course in countering their playbook. The Dims cannot effectively counter. They cannot abandond their negative, divisive strategies without collapsing the house of cards the Dimbulb Party has become: a shakey coalition of special interest groups, their many mutually incompatible interests papered over by constant finger pointing and invocations of resentment and envy.

Until Dims abjure the clintonization of their party, reject the extremists and parasites, and undertake a fundamental reformation, Republicans will be able to steadily whittle away at elements of their coalition: A few union members here, who recognize that economic growth is in their interest; a few blacks there, who recognize that democrats are blocking education reform, dooming inner-blacks to systemic underachievement. Small percentages that add up.

The democrats are stupid as usual. If they were just a little more patient, all their dreams would be realized by just letting the Republicans continue to co-opt their programs and advance the cause of big government liberalism.
