Early Saturday Morning Round-Up
At two in the morning, me clicking and reading:
Tonight, on the syndicated McLaughlin Group political talk show, Lawrence 'Donnell, senior MSNBC political analyst, claimed to know that name--and it is, ccording to him, top White House mastermind Karl Rove.
- The Daily Howler says that Howard Dean on Hardball did an excellent job of anti-Bush message that simply says that the administration means well but isn't able to do the job. This is the message I put forth in a letter to the editor in the Orlando Sentinel after the Tuesday address.
- Bull Moose has an excellent post on bashing the president versus putting forth a positive agenda.
The task of Democrats is to devise a compelling narrative for the country's future. This will require for the donkey to shift from Bush bashing to offering a policy agenda that demonstrates that the party can truly govern in a manner that protects the country, promotes economic growth and advances American values.
All of this seems self-evident, but it will require a major attitudinal shift for the party. Beyond the development of ideas, Democrats must actually be optimistic again. That might be the hardest task after two terms of W. But again, the donkey must wean itself from its Bush obsession.
To bed with me.
