It may really be too premature to determine what a winning strategy will be. I think it will depend on where the economy is, what is happening in Iraq and Afganistan and obviously who the candidate for the Democrats is. Clearly Leiberman is not going to be a "fire and brimstone - go out and condemn Bush" kind of guy whereas Dean might be effective doing that. My earlier comments about the campaign being ugly refer to the fact that the Democrats can win if they can turn out the numbers. If their candidate can't do that in and of himself then you have to find another way. Frankly, if the candidate is just "Bush Light" and doesn't show clear differences, many voters just won't care.
It certainly will be interesting and so is this thread - some well thought out points by just about everyone.
