What Democrats Should Do

Yet another argument for the midterm convention. Daily KOS links to a Democracy Corps study: Daily Kos: Democracy Corps Study: What Democrats Should Do

"In the eyes of most of the voters with whom we spoke in these groups, Democrats have failed to differentiate themselves from Republicans on the bread-and-butter issues that matter most; they have lost their voice on cultural issues and allowed the right to define them; they have failed to defend themselves against Republican attacks that they are weak in defense of our country and support of our troops; and they have attacked Republicans without offering a positive vision of their own."

But again, the clear case is made that thinking the Republicans are imploding and running against them is not going to be enough.
