Democrats Need More Beef Than "Sick Of This Shit, Yet?"

Just about everyone is saying that the November 7th mid-term election is the Democrats' to lose because the vast majority of the country is way past fed-up with the Bushies, Iraq, tax cuts for billionaires, and the great nose dive all major public services (health, public schools, libraries, infrastructures) have taken since November 2000.

As I posted yesterday, I don't think we can afford to assume anything. I think it's within the realm of possibility that we're going to get an excellent example of rigged electronic voting on November 7th where we'll see Republicans win races in which they got very few votes.

But let's ignore that scary point for a moment. Even if Dems do manage to score victory on November 7th, they have to demonstrate a platform that stands for something more than "We're sick and tired of Bush-Cheney." If they don't pull together this substance, they won't maintain any momentum moving into the presidential election of November 2008.
