What the Dems need is someone to take the high ground and try to set a positive difference, but when they try that again, Limbaugh, and crew tear them to shreds. It's just the tone and feel in the country right now, very negative and negativity seems to sell, people aren't buying anything positive. The GOP are far better at the mudslinging and dirty politics (again, my opinion).

What the Dems. need to do is be positive, I said this about Kerry, and ignore the mud and try to take the higher ground. However, when they do, they get slammed for looking weak. People say there is virtue in taking the higher ground but that doesn't seem to be the case, it comes out looking weak and the attacks from the other side make them look worse. Unfortunately, what the Dems. don't realize is long term the higher ground would eventually come out on top.
