21. "Come off as reasonable"
Yes, I get that it's all about desperate, impatient voters being duped (yet again) by a corporate-friendly MSM.

I'm asking if you think those two would be about as ruinous as any of the others because I've heard some people around here say that having Obama in here is about as bad as having Bush.

Back to the point, it's been a weakness of the Dem party at large that they don't SEEM to have an organized way to combat the fact the the MSM is essentially aiding and abetting the GOP.

The bottom line is that, obvious to some here, they need a way to explain to the average voter that it does not help to keep giving the GOP another try just because they ask for it, and that is because of the damage that their policies will do if they get a chance to get back in.

One of the things that frustrates me about the Obama campaign is that it's not enough to say "we can't go back to the failed policies of GWB". They need to explain in no uncertain terms what voters will stand to lose in a NON-ABSTRACT way if the GOP gets more power. They cannot afford to assume, despite the diplomacy of the idea, that the American voters "get it". They need to explain "Taxes 101" or "Medicare/SS 101" so that everything on the table is spelled out.
