There's been no lack of planning. It's just that the ones who have plans--say, for instance, Jack Murtha--got called traitors by the "stay the course" majority, and got shut down real quick.
Just so you know how it works, a mid-term election isn't a single election. It's a common day on which dozens and dozens of individual elections were held. There's no party platform offered at mid-term time, generally speaking. So that there's none now is not in any way exceptional.
The Dems have a whole lame-duck session to work out the details of what the propose to do. And don't forget--while congress holds the purse strings, foreign policy is still dictated by the White House.
