for Democratic candidates is there is no party momentum on calling out the republican actions described above. Until there is a persistent and constant mantra from the left strong enough to force the network media to cover it, it will go unnoticed, and the silly talking points of the right will dominate and run the election. The democratic message should be as focused like Bloomberg's mayors for gun control. Obama also needs to push a specific economic recovery bill for jobs, infrastructure (goods to market) and trade protection. This will give candidates something to run on. If the democrats in the senate and the house at least announce a plan for these things, they won't even need to rely on an Obama idea. They won't even need to bring it to the floor. They just need to run increasing their voice in both chambers. If Truman could do it for himself, I don't understand why it couldn't be done on a larger scale now. The republicans did it successfully in the 90's with false promises. It's not the republicans who need the benefit of branding, it's democrats. It should not be that difficult. We have the ideas, facts, and history to back it up.
