Vision Check for the Democrats by E. J. Dionne Jr.:
THE UNKNOWN CANDIDATE: Are you listening, Dems? E.J. Dionne Jr. is providing some excellent, (and free) advice. I hope some astute "strategist" with some clout takes note. Given the fact that the party leaders have begun hammering out their new "vision" by ripping off an old Republican tactic, Gingrich's "Contract With America"...I'd say they had BETTER listen...fast and well.
DIONNE: "It would be a shame if the Democrats' quest for something to say produced only focus-group-driven sloganeering and mush. There is at least a chance that it could become a way for the party to connect its past with its present. And Democrats might figure out how to speak to the public's dawning sense that the ideas of those now in charge are so shot through with inconsistencies that our current leaders can neither govern effectively nor keep their promises."
