I didn't pay too much attention either until after 9/11 so I won't be the one to hold it against you. I'm now a political junkie. Oh and I guess you can call me a soccer mom too even though my child is more into gymnastics than soccer. :)

I think everyone agrees with you about the Dems having a unified message and getting it out there. The problem is that when the media is owned by the other side, the news coverage just isn't going to happen the way we'd like it to. They will always distort and warp our message or just refuse to cover it at all. They will always have 3 conservatives to one liberal and that one liberal is guaranteed to be the whiniest, nerdiest they can find. I've come to the conclusion that until some of the wealthy on the left put some massive effort into building a media infrastructure to support *our* message, it will always seem muddied and unclear at best, hypocritical and disingenuine at worst.
