42. The Democrats need a cohesive campaign
I really, really, hope the Democrats are willing to come up with a cohesive campaign which highlights the abuses. There are so many things that should be career ending scandals that it all blurs together for most of the public unless they are highlighted in some form of often repeated summary. Hopefully the Democrats will do just what you suggest.

However, it seems like they're getting off to a late start for the 2006 season if they don't have anything by this point!

I would like to suggest some points though.

"The American people will be our priority, not politics."

I'd like to see something like "The American people will be our priority, not politics or enriching our contributors"

"Indictments will be replaced by integrity. Ethical wrongdoing whoever, or wherever, it is found, will be exposed, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I'd like to see some wording alluding to what the Republicans did with investigations when Bill Clinton was President. Something like "We will not abuse this process for political gain.". Of course the Republicans will try to abuse the process or accuse the Democrats of all kinds no hyped up nonsense and accuse us of breaking this pledge. On the other hand, they'll accuse the Democrats of investigating for political gain no matter who explodes from the sheer level of hypocrisy.
