Political Hay

(Page 2 of 2)

For example, although Greenberg and Carville note that immigration is a key concern of the voters they say Democrats must reach, they don't propose any immigration-related policies or stances. After raising the subject early on, they simply drop it.

Instead, they call for Democrats to attack Republicans as the corrupt tools of corporate lobbyists and push an agenda of health care, education, tax hikes on the wealthy and bashing energy companies -- the, umm, same policies they've been pushing for the last few years as the minority party.

To be sure, things are pretty gloomy for the Republicans right now and Democrats could indeed come out on top in 2006. But if they do, it won't be due to any innovative thinking on their part.
