That just goes to show that Republicans really don't have a clue.

Don't actually think they need to do anything much to destroy the administration at the moment. They learnt this lesson with the Schiavo case: the less they said and did, the more the neocon support fell! They carried it on quite successfully with social security reform, too. IMO, they should just oppose properly but not go out of their way to be particularly objectionable, and the neocons will happily destroy themselves...
P.S. Think the dumbing down in your schools has been going on for a long, long time under many administrations. IMO, it's mainly due to the fact the US believes it's #1 at everything so there's little point in looking beyond the borders to see if anyone's doing it better.
P.P.S. If you want a strategist after Rove goes to jail, I don't think you could possibly go wrong with Franklin. He'll do you a treat...

The Democratic Party need to ditch Kennedy, establish a new leadership committee, fire the current head of the DNC and anyone else who does not follow the leadership committee recommendations, tell HC in no uncertain terms that she will not be the next Democratic nominee for President, find issues that actually mean something to swing-voters in the middle states, ditch causes that mean next to nothing to swing voters in the middle states, stop describing swing voters who voted Republican in the last election cycle in derogatory terms, and look electable.

If Clinton runs for President, the mistakes of the Republican Party will just fade away and they will win big in the middle states, and the Democratic Party will consign itself to remaining a minority party in both houses with a Republican President in the White House for maybe another two election cycles.
I like Howard Dean a lot, but Vermont? how safe is that!!!
Kerry, from MA..........again safe blue.
The party conference was in Boston ffs.
Instead the party conference should have been in say, Wichita.
with the presidential primaries nominees involving NO-ONE from the upper right corner of the map.
