November

Robert Creamer of The Democratic Strategist lays down the "Nine Keys To Democratic Success in the Midterms." Click here to read the deets, but here's the headlines:

1. The election narrative -- the election must be framed as part of a struggle between everyday Americans and corporate special interests.


2. The antagonist in our narrative should be defined as the corporate special interests - Wall Street, insurance companies, Big Oil - and their Republican enablers.


3. Remind the voters that when the Republicans were in charge, they wrecked the economy and created zero private sector jobs.


4. It's all about turnout.


5. The Arizona Immigration Law, persuasion and turnout among Hispanics.


6. Seniors.


7. Wall Street Banks.


8. Staying on Offense


9. Defining our candidates as outsiders.

He closes with an emphasis on this final note:

To win in this environment, our candidates need to portray themselves as populist outsiders, not elite insiders. In the end, whoever wins that battle will prevail on November 2nd.

Word to the man.
