Hint: It isn't issues.
Hint: We have more of it than they do this time.

Like the liberals we are, instead of enjoying the fact that we have what WON THEM the election last time, we are hand-wringing about the fact that we have it.
This country is easily manipulated by targeted advertising. That means we need money. Reform the system in an off-year. We cannot change the rules in the middle of the game.
Right now, I am enjoying the fact that:
Hillary Clinton has 45.2 million cash on hand
Barack Obama has 36.2 million cash on hand
John Edwards has 13.2 million cash on hand.
Whereas Guiliani has 18.3 Mil cash
Romney has 12.1 mil cash
and McCain has a measley 3.2 mil cash
I am really resisting gloating right now, it's bad luck and it's early. But it looks bad for their side.
