In the Hill Today - Democrats Need to Become A Governing Party

An Alex Bolton Hill story today has the following passage:

But Simon Rosenberg...argued Democrats are still well-positioned compared to Republicans for the upcoming election because they have tried to address the nation’s major problems, even if they’ve fallen short.

“They’re frustrated but they need to look inward,” he said, calling for better communication among Democratic leaders. “They have to find a way to work more effectively to do the people’s business. There’s going to have to be much tighter coordination on major legislation among the White House, Senate and House.”

I get asked all the time - so what should the Democrats do? Three things I answer:

- Convince the American People They Have an Economic Plan, and Have One

- Embrace The New Electoral Coalition Built by Obama 2008

- Become a Governing Party

If they can do those three things this year I think the Democrats will be fine.  If they can't, then the door will be open for significant Republican gains. 

More on all this soon.  A little busy today.
