Why the Democrats Are Losing Ground As Obama Is Gaining It

As a Democrat I think there are other issues at work here. For one thing the current congress is still full of some of the same democrats who bear responsibility for handing Bush many of his ill-conceived powers.



They need to publicly atone for their bad judgment and promise America to do all they can to undo bad laws of the past 8 years.



Second...the DNC needs to spend some money on Madison Avenue. Hire some of the best marketing and branding people they can find and follow their advice.



Politics has two phases...the get elected phase and the get to work phase. Marketing is where it is at in the first phase and must continue alongside the second phase.



Part of Obama's appeal is that he is always marketing himself and his plans. Most in congress drop out of public view until it is time to ask for votes again. A big mistake.
