we need a karl rove on our side
and we need to start now just like he did in 2000. everything that has transpired was his orchestration.
when bush thanked him in his acceptance speech today-it's all too clear and diabolical - from the 527's on down. repeating lies over and over until they are beheld as fact
imagine his talent pushing justice and truth throughout the country

our handicap was the media, we cannot use them. must find a way

1. The Rajin Cajun should come back into the fold in 2008
I'd quote his thoughts on Nader, but that would not be a unifying thing.

9. The country doesn't care
As long as they have their fucking Scott Pederson and shitty American Idol, all is peachy.

5. we need a whole bunch of Karl Roves
working at various levels

we need other infrastructure as well: media outlets (AAR is a great start), think tanks (the current so-called "liberal" think tanks are actually centrist-corporatist, more push-the-envelope pundits, a network of daily talking points.

we need to unite two or three or four constituencies, perhaps workers or environmentalists or civil libertarians in much the way the Right has coopted fundy religious wackos, anti-choice zealots and gun nuts.

we need a focused, small set of recurring six- or seven-word slogans designed to be repeated ad nauseum and to appeal to these constituencies.

we need to be willing to say anything and do anything to get elected.

and we need a bunch of Karl Roves--he's the major leaguer with a whole system of minor leaguers under him--hundreds of them around the country collaborating.

8. Just ONE brilliant strategist who has the candidate's ear - not
all those tons of money guzzling consultants and different political factions.
