Want some unsolicited advice?
Consider respecting the people who voted against you. You will clearly need some of them in the future. I don't mean all democrats, but, be honest, most of you think Bush and those who voted for him are stupid or ill-informed and you like to talk about that a lot. You can ride smug superiority all the way to Whig status or open your minds up a little bit. Don't be insulted if this isn't true for you, but this way of thinking was almost uniform for the dem.s I talked with this time around.
Consider whether the message is too shrill and negative.
Consider whether or not having activist liberal judges making legislative policy is really a good thing. Nothing loses you elections like having social issues on the ballot that are only there b/c four democrats in robes from Mass decided to make decisions for all of us.
Consider your leadership. Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton are your two most powerful leaders. That's great if you want to be king of NY or LA. Start giving your midwestern leaders something important to do.
Tell Michael Moore to shut his trap.
Stop being so divisive on college campuses--that stuff sticks with people, for and against you and the fors are so rabid they turn off most leaners.
Act like you respect those in the military more than Springstein.
Let Hollywood go. Babs isn't helping you.
Listen to Bill Bradley.
I'm sure we could come up with a list for the rep.s too, except they did seem to win everything.
