Time to Frame The Message

1. No matter how shitty you think this bill is, or the fact that it probably won't have a public option, no matter how far left you are, the MOMENT this is signed, start trumpeting the IMMEDIATE benefits. You know, the no recission, no pre existing contidions, immediate high risk pool while the exchanges are being set up, all those things.
2. When primarying Democrats, press on the POSITIVE with regards to the bill. Emphasize benefits, and DON'T talk about how bad the bill sucks.
3. NO MATTER WHAT question is asked, all pundits should REPEAT THE MESSAGE of point number 1.
4. We have READY MADE attack ads at our disposal. EVERY response or question at a town hall meeting should be "Why do you want to take away these benefits?". The attack ads should be blunt: "Republican X wants to TAKE AWAY your benefits" "Republican X wants to TAKE AWAY your health care." And so on.
