According to an AP Story our champion in the Senate, Harry Reid, called Bush a "loser" - that's good, right? But then he turned around a apologized.

Democratic leader Harry Reid called President Bush "a loser" during a civics discussion with a group of teenagers at a high school on Friday.

"The man's father is a wonderful human being," Reid, D-Nev., told students at Del Sol High School when asked about the president's policies. "I think this guy is a loser."

Shortly after the event Reid called the White House to apologize, his spokeswoman Tessa Hafen said. Reid spoke with Bush adviser Karl Rove, asking him to convey the apology to Bush, who was traveling in Europe.

WTF?

I don't think there's a lot I can add to the dissection of the last election. A lot of things happened, some good, most bad, and it's time to get on with the next election. This is intended to outline a strategy for retaking the House in 2006, and I'd like to get some feedback on it.

My proposal is that "we":
1.    spend the next 4-8 months crafting a brief Agenda for House candidates for 2006.
2.    find and support House candidates who will support this Agenda
3.    find and support institutions and organizations that will support this Agenda and these candidates
4.    force the debate in 2005 to be about this Agenda

Of course, this is what political parties are supposed to do, but ours hasn't done it, has it? Plus, what I'm really talking about is crafting a message, not a platform - a way of presenting traditional progressive issues in a new and appealing light. This clarification may be clear in the draft I've included below. Read More
