One little thing Democrats (and the media for that matter) should do is correct Republicans when they refer to the "Democrat Party" instead of the Democratic Party. It is deliberately insulting to not call your opponents' party by its actual name.
This evening on Capital Gang, John Thune was asked to give "non-partisan" advice to Democrats about a new DNC chair and referred to the "Democrat Party." Of course, nobody on Capital Gang (not Mark Shields, Al Hunt or Margaret Carlson) called him on this. This misuse of the party's name seems to be growing over the airwaves and should be corrected whenever it occurs. I would love to see the Republicans called on this and made to feel as small as they are acting when they refer to the "Democrat Party."
