The political strategy group, Democracy Corps, run by Democrat bigwigs James Carville, Stanley Greenberg, and Robert Shrum has issued a memo to the party. It's a revealing glimpse into the thinking of party's top strategists. I'm pretty sure it's a long shot but if Dems take advice like this (below), we could be in for a few tough races next year.
"2006 will only produce an upheaval if Democrats make a break with the forces that have put them just short of a majority in the country," they argue. "The Democrats should revisit the Perot voters and their concerns, even if Perot himself has faded from view. His voters were the most anti-political and anti-elitist, anti-big government and big corporations, anti-free trade and anti-immigration. They were pro-military but anti-foreign entanglements. They were libertarian and secular, pro-gun and pro-choice."
I can't speak for all Conservatives but I certainly hope the Republican party gets its house in order before the Dems ever figure out where they've gone wrong. I think, given the angst over the Miers nomination, that the members of our party are making it quite clear to anyone who intends to seek office in 2006 that we need to get back to true Conservatism. If that happens, there will be no stopping the juggernaut.
