Whoever the Democratic nominee is

[cali]

they have to be willing to go after the repuke nominee hammer and tongs.

- If it's Rudy, tie him to Kerik and corruption, bring in his slimy personal life, his pandering to the far right, his adherence to failed bushco policies, and his lack of foreign policy experience.

- If it's Mitt, slam him on flip flopping, and tie him to bushco, use his statements made in primary season against him, and slam him on his lack of foreign policy experience. About the only place I don't think dems should go- even with coded language- is his religion.

- If it's Huckabee, depict him clearly as the religious wingnut he is. Slam him on his lack of foreign policy experience.

One thing is clear: All of our candidates have more foreign policy experience than the repuke likelies.

1. Tie every single one to Bush

They've all validated Bush's policies. Hell, it looks like Rudy wants to take them even farther.

2. At this point, it's a good strategy...

They can't afford to back away from them too far, yet can't afford to cling to them too tightly.

The Devil and the deep blue sea.

3. Thank you for your focus.

We must keep these thoughts in mind as we get closer to the general. Post them again in March, okay?
