| New strategy, same as the old strategy |
Democrats, one day you're going to get this. You're going to figure out the way this works, and you're going to figure out a way to beat it.
The GOP yesterday launched it's election strategy for the November midterms. It's called the (super-secret) Marriage Amendment. And it's the only way the GOP can get the evangelicals to forgive them for their trespasses (on immigration, on their head fakes on the culture wars, and hell, everything else) and turn out for Republicans this fall.
And in case it's not enough, there's also a gambit to turn out the white, blue-collar conservative vote: it's called English as the national language.
Democrats: what say you? If you fight either of these fights, you lose. If you don't fight them, you lose the activist core of your fundraising and door-knocking base (though you gain in the middle). So what do you do?
Mike Votes has more on the fightin' and the Specterisms...
ThinkP has more on Russ Feingold's walk-out, and Arlen Specter's response... More on that here, from AP.
John Aravosis says the GOP is hiding their evangelicals under a bushel...
In the spirit of bipartisanship, Andrew Sullivan has the latest on the Howard Dean gay kerfuffle (hm ... maybe that's a bad choice of words...) Note to Sullivan and others, maybe HoDo's eyes are open regarding November...
