text: why can't the democrats get it? why aren't they redesigning their message so more people get on the bandwagon. it seems there is an enormous opportunity now for the democrats to really build up steam and followers, but they grind on the same old saw and seem scared to death to set themselves apart from the fear mongering republicans. it seems to me that the dem's only message of late is "we hate republicans, and we disagree with the bush administration."  that's it. they cannot agree on what they want to do to make the country better, or how they plan to fix what they consider to be problems created by the bush administration.  until they unify and come up with a clear plan, i doubt they'll be able to significantly increase their appeal.
