The 34 Democrats that voted against historic health care reform are catching a lot of flack today. The calls for primary challenges are a good thing.

But it's time to go on offense.

There are another 34 that should be feeling the pressure. There are 34 Republicans representing districts won by Obama. 34 Members of Congress who should be on a very hot seat after voting against health care.

I've noticed a talking point making its rounds on the right--"largest peacetime deficit". Yesterday at the Republican Senate's press conference attacking health care reform, Sen. McCain used the phrase.

There's a difference between us & them- and it really came through in the debate last night.

By us, I mean involved progressives who have been following the campaign-watch cable news, read the paper, check poll numbers daily, comment on blogs--even write the occasional diary.

By them, I mean the average voter. They don't do many of these things. Some may never have even seen Barack Obama speak before or never seen him debate.

Frankly, we don't matter right now--and we're wrong.

The meme is being established: McCain/Palin are liars.

Now is the time to reinforce the complementary meme: Obama is honest.

Here's my ad idea.

Done in the style on "man on the street" interviews.

Middle-age couple. Woman speaks, husband is nodding head in approval: "What am I looking for in our next President? Someone who will tell the truth for a change."

Older white man: "We need a President who'll be straight with the American people. Honesty and integrity should still count for something."
