Reply #74: We're letting them frame the issue again -- [View All]

We lose because we let the Repugs define us. When the votes were counted our party had no clear statement about Lamont's win (not Liberman's loss] so the Repugs get to spin it as a takeover by the fringe Left.

Our leaders should have been on every talk show all day with the exact same message: Lamont won because he represents the 60% of Americans who think Iraq was wrong, and the more than 60% who think * is doing a lousy job at everything.

What did Jon Stewart say to Howard Dean? "Bush has the lowest approval rate ever, the Republicans are caught up in scandals, Tom Delay and Scooter Libby have been indicted -- so, how do the Democrats plan to blow it this November?"

Letting the Repugs get the first word is a good (bad) start...
